About the study

Many patients suffer from traumatic burns and current treatments do not increase the regenerative potential of either skin grafts or the remaining uninjured skin. There is a need to develop treatments to accelerate and improve healing of burn injuries. More research is needed to evaluate the role of 4-AP, a promising new agent with an excellent safety profile, on wound and burn healing. The investigational treatment will be used to test the hypothesis that 4-AP accelerates burn healing in traumatically burned patients.
