A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Self-controlled Phase I/II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preventive Efficacy of AK3280 Cream After Cicatrectomy in Patients With Hypertrophic Scar in China.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo self-controlled phase I/II clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preventive efficacy of different doses of AK3280 cream （AK3287 ） after cicatrectomy in Patients with Hypertrophic Scar in China.
