The aim of this prospective study is to assess the efficacy of autologous Platelet Rich Plasma prepared with RegenKit-BCT in the prevention and the treatment of keloid scars refractory to conventional treatments. Fifteen patients were included and received three PRP injection sessions with a one-month interval. The outcomes were assessed at baseline (before treatment), 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after the last injection session. Safety was assessed by reported adverse event analysis.
To evaluate the efficacy and the safety of platelet rich plasma in the treatment of keloid scars. This prospective, comparative study (before-after treatment) included 15 patients with keloid scars refractory to conventional treatment (corticoids, surgery, cryotherapy). The primary outcome was the percentage of patients achieving a complete remission of their keloid scar 2 years after the end of treatment. Secondary outcomes were the Vancouver scar scale and pruritus severity scored at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post treatment vs baseline.

After complete resection of the keloid scar, the first injection was administered before closure into the lesion resection bed and edges. Three additional injections were administered with a one-month interval.
Percentage of patients achieving a complete remission of their keloid scar 2 years after the end of treatment.
The efficacy of autologous platelet concentrate obtained with RegenKit®-BCT was assessed based on the percentage of patients achieving a complete remission of their keloid scar 2 years after the end of treatment.
