Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to look at how the body's immune system reacts to temporary skin grafts from deceased donors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Some burns will heal best with the use of temporary skin grafts from cadavers before covering the burns with grafts of the patient's own skin. This is the usual care for these types of burn injuries recommended by burn surgeons. This skin is applied in the operating room and removed after several days. During that time, the body's immune system will make antibodies to the skin. Normally, these antibodies are harmless. However, extra antibodies can make it difficult to find donors for transplants. The results of this study will be used to better understand how to treat a subset of burn patients with very severe burns in a way that allows them to receive tissue transplants (e.g. face transplants, hand transplants).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

One donor

Participants will receive skin allograft from 1 distinct cadavers.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Skin allograft

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Participants will receive skin allograft from either 1, 2 or 3 distinct cadavers. This skin allograft will be applied in a routine fashion, with no deviation from the typical clinical course of treatment.

Two donors

Participants will receive skin allograft from 2 distinct cadavers.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Skin allograft

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Participants will receive skin allograft from either 1, 2 or 3 distinct cadavers. This skin allograft will be applied in a routine fashion, with no deviation from the typical clinical course of treatment.

Three donors

Participants will receive skin allograft from 3 distinct cadavers.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Skin allograft

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Participants will receive skin allograft from either 1, 2 or 3 distinct cadavers. This skin allograft will be applied in a routine fashion, with no deviation from the typical clinical course of treatment.

Control

Participants will be burned patients with wounds that do not require skin allografts, but are instead reconstructed with their own skin (skin autografts) in a single stage.
