Brief summary
This study will determine the safety of allogeneic stem cell therapy from healthy donors, for 2nd degree burn wounds of less than 20% Total Body Surface Area (TBSA), at four different dose levels. Clinical evaluation will take place every 1 to 4 weeks intervals until wound closure, and then monthly for 6 months following the last administration of MSCs. Once the safety and dose-response analysis in Phase 1 is completed, an expanded trial will be initiated to better examine the efficacy of MSC therapy in 2nd degree burn wounds. Phase 1 will establish the maximum safe dose that will be used in the Phase II trial.
Interventions
BIOLOGICALAllogeneic (MSC's) Application to the Burn Wounds
Allogeneic (MSC's) Application to the Burn Wounds. The first group of 5 will be started on the lowest dose. If there are no adverse reactions, the second group of 5 will receive a higher dose. This will be repeated for the third and fourth groups with each receiving a higher dose 1. Initial dose level will be 2.5 x 10³ Allogeneic MSCs cells/square cm. 2. Second dose level 5 X 10³ Allogeneic MSCs cells/square cm. 3. Third dose level 1 X 10⁴ Allogeneic MSCs cells/square cm. 4. Fourth dose level 2 X 10⁴ Allogeneic MSCs cells/square cm. Up to 2 administrations of cells will be allowed per dose level to be given over a period of no more than 8 weeks. Each administration of cells will be no less than ten days apart and no more than 6 weeks apart.
