One shot to smooth scars? new trial begins
NCT ID NCT07474467
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a single injection of TRTP-101, a biological treatment, to see if it safely improves atrophic scars (like acne scars). Thirty-one adults will receive the injection on one side of their face and a placebo on the other, with neither they nor their doctors knowing which is which. The goal is to measure scar improvement and any side effects over several months.
