Could fat extract be the key to faster wound healing?
NCT ID NCT07372404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a cream made from human fat can help skin graft donor sites heal faster and form better scars. Thirty adults getting skin grafts will have two donor sites: one treated with the fat extract and the other with standard care. Researchers will compare healing time, scar quality, and any side effects over 60 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- allogeneic human fat-derived extract (topical)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a simple, safe way to help skin graft donor sites heal faster and with better scars.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 30 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The extract might not improve healing or could cause irritation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Wound of at least 10 cm3 with an indication of skin graft surgery (two skin grafts harvested and used) * Adult (age 18 years or more) * Able and willing to give informed consent * Reasonably accessible to the study clinic and compliant to wound treatment Exclusion Criteria: * Known allergy to any of the preparation used in the study (Tience) * Systemic cancer (does not include carcinoma in situ of the cervix or local skin cancers such as basiloma) * Pregnancy or nursing * Those who withhold consent * Active infection on the receptor site, donor site or sepsis * Any other serious disease likely to compromise the outcome of the trial, such as critical renal disease (creatinine greater than 300 mmol/l) * Those living at such a distance from the clinic as would make frequent assessment visits inappropriately expensive and/or impractical. * Those with conditions, which tend to limit a patient´s ability or willingness to restrict activities or comply with the instructions during the treatment and follow-up period.
