Trial summary

Treatment with colloidal solutions has during long time been a cornerstone within intensive care. Lately, doubts have been raised about synthetic colloids, and the natural albumin has been used more and more. One of these solutions is the hyperoncotic "Albumin 20%". Read more about this study

About this study

Treatment with colloidal solutions has during long time been a cornerstone within intensive care. Lately, doubts have been raised about synthetic colloids, and the natural albumin has been used more and more.

One of these solutions is the hyperoncotic "Albumin 20%". However there are still many aspects of the physiological effects of hyperoncotic albumin, that are not known. In this study physiological effects will be studied in burn patients and healthy subjects. The colloid osmotic pressure and the increase of the plasma volume will be measured in 15 healthy subjects and in 15 burn patients. The effect on the plasma volume will be studied using hemoglobin as a marker of dilution. Colloids osmotic pressure and albumin concentration will be measured directly and urin production will also be measured. Blood samples will be collected during 4 to 5 hours to achieve a profile over the changes.

Read the detailed description

Healthy individuals are asked to refrain from eating and drinking the night before the study. Two hours before study start, the subjects may take a sandwich and a glas to drink. Patients will also be asked to keep the same rules unless they receive parenteral nutrition. Shortly before the study, the subjects are asked to leave an urine sample.

After 15 minutes of rest the first bood samples are taken. An infusion 3 ml/kg bodyweight Albumin 20% is given during 30 minutes. The first hour after study start (start of infusion) blood samples are taken every 10 minutes. The following 4 hours another 9 blood samples are collected. Hemoglobin, albumin and colloidosmotic pressure will be measured at every occasion.

C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, Syndecan -1 as well as heparan sulfate, will be measured before, after 1 hour and 5 hours after study start.

The total volume of blood collected will be 150 ml. If the study subjects have a low urin output, acetated Ringers will be given at the end of the study. Liberal fluid intake is recommended the same day and the next.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Albumins in people with Burns, run by University Hospital, Linkoeping at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Plasma volume (time frame: 5 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02952378, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 May 2019.
