Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the safety and efficacy of allogeneic cultured keratinocyte sheets in the treatment of acute second-degree burns
Design
In this parallel 3 group, open-label clinical trial study that will be started after the completion of phase I clinical trial follow-ups, 35 patients will be enrolled in regular order according to standard protocols. Based on the randomization list, three separate wounds of a single patient will be selected and allogeneic keratinocyte sheet transplantation (as intervention), autologous skin transplantation, or conventional treatment will be selected for each wound.
Settings and conduct
Location: Operating room of Shahid Motahari Hospital in Tehran Preliminary laboratory tests are performed at Royan Research Institute and clinical and paraclinical tests are performed at Shahid Motahari Hospital.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients aged 18 to 70 years with deep second-degree heat burns involving 20 to 50% of the body surface, if they express written consent to participate in the study and wish to attend regular treatment and follow-up courses, enter the study. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients, with uncontrolled underlying disease, requiring intensive care, or multiple traumas are not included in the study.
Intervention groups
Product type: Allogeneic keratinocyte sheet How to use: Allogeneic keratinocyte sheet transplant size 60cm2 Number of transplantation: 1 or 2 times
Main outcome variables
Evaluation of side effects, including short-term and long-term, systemic or local, severe or mild, and related and unrelated side effects of cell therapy at times 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28 days, and 3 and 6 months after intervention according to CTCAEV5 criteria

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random allocation software will be used as the method for randomization. By means of random allocation, each patient's wounds will be assigned to one of the three groups: Group A (autograft), Group B (conventional treatment), or Group C (Keratinocyte sheet). This allocation will follow a 1:1:1 ratio and will adhere to a computer-generated randomization schedule that considers specific strata based on the wound site.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: One of the three deep second-degree burn wound of 60 cm2 in limbs or trunk (except joints, arms, legs, and areas where tendons, blood vessels, or bone tissue are exposed) will be selected randomly.
