Assessing the landscape of clinical and observational trials involving bioprinting: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Bioprinting is a tissue engineering technique that is rapidly evolving to include complex clinical applications. However, there is limited evidence describing how far bioprinting has progressed past the pre-clinical stage. Thus, we conducted a scoping review to assess the landscape of clinical studies, including interventional and observational trials, involving bioprinting by charting trends in general characteristics, bioprinting application, and trial design.

Methods

The term "bioprint" and its variants were searched in five trial databases (ICTRP, ScanMedicine, CENTRAL, NIHCC, HCCTD) and two registries (ClinicalTrials.gov, PHRR) on 22 February 2024. This was followed by duplicate removal and dual independent review to finalize the inclusion list. We included tr
