Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Bacteriophage cocktail spray
Treatment: Drugs - Xeroform

Active Comparator: Standard of Care - Standard of care consists of Xeroform primary dressing, a Melolin interface and a crepe. Kenacomb will be used for participants with diagnosed or suspected local infections.

Experimental: Cocktail-SPK and standard of care - The experimental drug consists of Cocktail-SPK used as an adjunct to the standard of care. Standard of care consists of Xeroform primary dressing, a Melolin interface and a crepe. Kenacomb will be used for participants with diagnosed or suspected local infections.


Other interventions: Bacteriophage cocktail spray
Study intervention consists of a dosage-metered airless spray containing a cocktail of 14 bacteriophages at a concentration of 1.4 x 10^8 PFU/mL for an effective dosage of 2.5 x10^5 PFU/cm^2 of burned area. The study intervention will be applied in conjunction with standard of care.

Treatment: Drugs: Xeroform
Standard of care will consist of Xeroform primary dressing and Kenacomb topical antibiotic cream (for wounds with signs of localized infection)

Summary
Brief summary
The central aim of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of Phage
Cocktail-SPK as an adjunct to standard therapy for the prevention and treatment of burns
susceptible to infection/or infected by S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, or K. pneumoniae species.
It is hypothesized that no adverse events, clinical abnormalities, or changes in laboratory
tests results related to the application of Phage Cocktail SPK Spray will be observed.
