The primary objective of the protocol is to evaluate preliminary safety and feasibility of ADRCs via intravenous delivery in the treatment of deep partial and full thickness thermal wounds.
The RELIEF Trial is a prospective, open-label, parallel group, usual care controlled, multi-center randomized (2:1, active: usual care alone) safety and feasibility study targeting thermal burns. Subjects will have at least one deep partial or full thickness burn wounds of > 250 cm2 that is to be autografted with a split thickness meshed skin graft (STSG). Subjects randomized to ADRCs will undergo small volume fat harvest (100 to 150 mL) performed at initiation of general anesthesia for scheduled burn surgery followed by intravenous delivery of ADRCs within 4 hours following surgery. The lipoaspirate will be processed in the Celution® System to isolate and concentrate ADRCs.
Following informed consent and initial screening assessments, eligible subjects will undergo pre-operative testing. On the procedure day, subjects will be randomized to ADRCs (with usual care) or usual care alone. Low volume lipoharvest will only be performed on subjects randomized to ADRCs in order to obtain 100-150 mL lipoaspirate, which will then be transferred to the Celution® System for processing to isolate and concentrate ADRCs for same-day administration. All treatment will be delivered in a total volume of 10 mL which will be delivered by slow intravenous administration into a peripheral vein.
Following surgery, subjects will be evaluated at first dressing change, day 10 (±2) (only if wound dressing change planned) and weeks 2 (±3 days), 3 (±3 days), 4 (±3 days), 8 (±7 days), 12 (±14 days), 26 (±14 days), and 52(±21 days).
The 1st 5 subjects enrolled in active treatment will be observed for adverse events over a 7 day period. If no SAEs occur during that period, for that individual subject, the next subject enrolled in active treatment may be entered with the same 7 day observation period. The safety results of the first 5 subjects will be reviewed by the DMC and their evaluation will be used in conjunction with the clinical data collected to date, and if appropriate, to potentially remove the staggering approach to the study. Enrollment after the first 5 subjects may continue only after the DMC has completed its safety review and recommends continuation.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
