Overview

This multicenter real-world study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a novel technique for rapid intraoperative construction of tissue-engineered skin using autologous epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) for repairing difficult-to-heal wounds. Eligible patients are randomized to receive either: (1) the experimental intervention (rapidly constructed EpiSCs-loaded scaffold combined with split-thickness skin graft via one-step or two-step procedure), or (2) control intervention (acellular scaffold combined with split-thickness skin graft). The primary outcome is the complete wound healing rate at 4 weeks post-surgery. Secondary outcomes include wound recurrence, scar quality (VSS/POSAS), functional recovery (sweat test), mortality, amputation rate, and safety profile.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All-age population

Wounds requiring surgical repair (single area 10-100 cm²): acute wounds (burns, traumatic defects, post-scar resection) OR chronic wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, vascular ulcers)

Completed wound bed preparation (no necrotic tissue, infection controlled)

Signed informed consent and agreement to use tissue-engineered materials and long-term follow-up

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of allergy to allogeneic/xenogeneic tissue-engineered scaffolds or collagen materials

Severe immunosuppression (HIV/AIDS, long-term immunosuppressant use)

Malignant tumors, uncontrolled systemic infection (CRP \> 50 mg/L), or organ failure (Child-Pugh Class C)

Mental illness preventing compliance with treatment or follow-up

Pregnant or lactating women

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
