Summary

This trial compares the time it takes for MW-III to heal second-degree thermal burns versus Silvadene® Cream 1%.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults (18+) who have a single second-degree thermal burn that happened within the last 24 hours. They must be able to consent and follow study procedures. People with multiple burns, third-degree burns, burns needing surgery, or at high risk of compartment syndrome can't join.
What is being tested?
The study aims to see if MW-III works faster than Silvadene Cream (Silver Sulfadiazine) in healing second-degree thermal burns. Participants will randomly receive either the investigational drug MW-III or the standard treatment with Silvadene.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for MW-III are not listed here, Silver Sulfadiazine may cause skin discoloration, burning sensation on application, rash or itching; more serious but rare effects include blood disorders or liver damage.
