Own skin cells may speed wound healing and reduce scars

NCT ID NCT07551284

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether applying a patient's own skin cells (called a basal cell suspension) to surgical wounds can help them heal faster and with less scarring. Researchers will compare 500 people who get this extra treatment with 500 who get standard surgery alone. The goal is to see if the cell spray improves healing within 4 weeks and reduces scar formation over 6 months.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Autologous epidermal basal cell suspension (a mixture of skin cells from the patient's own skin, applied to wounds to help them heal)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a better way to heal wounds after surgery, with less scarring and faster recovery.

What could go wrong

This is an early observational study, not a controlled trial. The results may not prove the treatment works better than standard care, and there is a risk of infection or poor healing.
