Primary objective:
- To evaluate the safety of TWB-103 in split-thickness skin graft donor site wounds (DSW) for Phase I in terms of Incidence of treatment-related AEs and SAEs (including infections and bleeding)
- To evaluate the efficacy for Phase I+II of TWB-103 in split-thickness skin graft donor site wounds (DSW) in terms of The healing time from DSW creation to 100% re-epithelialization
Secondary objective:
- To evaluate the efficacy of TWB-103 in split-thickness skin graft donor site wounds (DSW) in secondary efficacy endpoints
- To evaluate the safety of TWB-103 in split-thickness skin graft donor site wounds (DSW) in secondary safety endpoints

- Incidence of treatment-related AEs and SAEs (including infections and bleeding) [ Time Frame: Day 0~Day 28 ]The incidence of treatment-related AEs and SAEs (including infections and bleeding) will be observed for the 6 patients in Phase I
- The healing time from DSW creation to the first 100% re-epithelialization with confirmation for at least 10 days apart assessed by the investigator [ Time Frame: Days 42 or earlier ]The healing time from DSW creation to the first 100% re-epithelialization with confirmation for at least 10 days apart assessed by the investigator for all patients in Phase I and II
- The healing time from DSW creation to the first 100% re-epithelialization with confirmation for at least 10 days apart, assessed by the first additional evaluator [ Time Frame: Days 42 or earlier ]The healing time from DSW creation to the first 100% re-epithelialization with confirmation for at least 10 days apart, assessed by the first additional evaluator for all patients in Phase I and II
- The healing rates (complete wound closure) of patients at Day 7, 10 and 14 after DSW creation [ Time Frame: Day 7, 10 and 14 ]Complete wound closure is defined as skin 100% re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements. This endpoint will be in all patients in Phase I and II.
- The healing percentage of wounds (ratio of healing area and original area) at Days 7, 10 and 14 after DSW creation [ Time Frame: Day 7, 10 and 14 ]The healing percentage of wounds will be calculated based on the healing area measured on Day 7, 10 and 14, comparing to the original area measured on Day 0 for all patients in Phase I and II.
- The pain change from baseline to post-wound creation visits based on short-form McGill pain questionnaire score [ Time Frame: Days 3, 7, 10, 14, 28, 42, Day 90/180/270/360 from Day 28 or 42 ]All patients in Phase I and II will evaluate the pain based on Short-form McGill pain questionnaire at each visit.
- Incidence of AEs and SAEs [ Time Frame: Screening~ Day 360 from Day 28 or 42 ]All incidence of AEs and SAEs will be analyzed for all patients in Phase I and II.
- Changes in post-treatment physical examination, vital signs, and general laboratory assessment compared to baseline [ Time Frame: Days 3, 7, 10, 14, 28, 42 ]Will be analyzed for all patients in Phase I and II.
- Incidence of treatment-related AEs and SAEs (including infections and bleeding) [ Time Frame: Screening~ Day 360 from Day 28 or 42 ]The incidence of treatment-related AEs and SAEs (including infections and bleeding) will be observed for all patients in Phase I and II

Ages Eligible for Study: | 20 Years to 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
A patient is eligible for the study if all of the following apply:
- Female/male patients, aged 20-65 years old
- Presenting a split-thickness skin graft donor site wound with a minimum size of 15 cm2 but no more than 100 cm2, with a minimum width of 3 cm and with an approximate thickness of 0.010~0.012 inches. The graft cannot be harvested from a site from which a skin graft was previously obtained.
- If the primary wound is a result of a thermal or chemical burn, the total body surface area of the said wound must be less than 15%.
- Females of childbearing potential must have a documented negative serum pregnancy test done at the screening visit, which is within 2 weeks prior the DSW creation and the treatment
- Both male and female patients must agree to use highly effective contraceptives from signing informed consent to 30 days after the last dose administration.
- Willing to comply with the study protocol and to sign the Informed Consent Form
Any patient meeting any of the exclusion criteria will be excluded from study participation.
- Female patients who are pregnant or lactating or planning a pregnancy and any male patient whose partner (wife) planning a pregnancy from signing informed consent to 30 days after the last dose administration.
- Clinically significant disease or condition that may compromise graft take and/or donor site healing (e.g. the presence of a bleeding disorder, capillary fragility, venous or arterial disorder directly affecting the donor site to be treated, known or suspected systemic malignancies, human immunodeficiency virus infection, renal or liver disease, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, thrombocytopenia, vasculitis, poor nutritional status).
-
Patients who are currently receiving or have received the following treatments within 4 weeks prior to study entry are excluded from the study:
- systemic or inhaled corticosteroids or immunosuppressant agents; or
