Trial summary

The goal of this comparative, interventional randomized controlled trial is to use albumin during resuscitation in pediatric burn patients on day 2, as it can reduce extravasation of fluids and decrease the overall fluid requirements, along with mortality and maintain circulation.

About this study

The goal of this comparative, interventional randomized controlled trial is to use albumin during resuscitation in pediatric burn patients on day 2, as it can reduce extravasation of fluids and decrease the overall fluid requirements, along with mortality and maintain circulation.

Participants will be divided into 2 groups. Albumin will be administered additionally in group A, while only crystalloids will be used for resuscitation in group B.

Read the detailed description

The randomized controlled trial will be done at Department of Pediatric Surgery, Mayo Hospital Lahore from January 2022 to December 2022. Ninety patients (forty-five patients in each group) will be enrolled using a non probability convenient sampling technique. Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups. Albumin solution will be administered in group A and in group B only routine crystalloids will be given. Basic demographic information will be noted. Effect modifiers (hemoglobin, Albumin level, weight and height) will be noted.

Group A: After first 24 hours, maintenance fluid, N/2+5%Dextrose solution will be started according to weight(100ml/kg/day for first 10kg, 50ml/kg/day for next 10kg and 20ml/kg/day for the remainder) and will be increased or decreased by 1/3 to maintain the urinary output to 1-1.5ml/kg/hour. 12, 75 5% Albumin solution will be administered @0.5ml/kg/%burn over initial 8 hours of day 2 and It's amount will be subtracted from the 24 hours fluid calculated earlier.

Group B: After first 24 hours, maintenance fluid, N/2+5%Dextrose solution will be started according to weight (100ml/kg/day for first 10kg, 50ml/kg/day for next 10kg and 20ml/kg/day for the remainder) and will be increased or decreased by 1/3 to maintain the urinary output to 1-1.5ml/kg/hour.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 5% Albumin (human) SolutionBiological

    Also called ALBURX® 5

    Albumin is a biological product derived from human blood donors.

    Also called Revasol-Paeds IV Infusion

    Paeds solution contains dextrose 4.3%, and Sodium Chloride 0.18%

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Resuscitation Volume

    Total volume of fluid required to maintain a urine output of 1-1.5ml/hour on the day 2 of admission.

    Measured: 24-48 hours

  2. Serum Albumin levels

    Albumin level in patient after day 2 of admission

    Measured: 24-48 hours

  3. Urine Output

    Amount of urine passed on day 2 of admission. Should be 1-2.5ml/kh/hr

    Measured: 24-48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Requirement of inotropic support

    Patients in shock not responding to additional fluid administration, with reduced urine output requiring dopamine or dobutamine.

    Measured: 24-48 hours

  2. Mortality

    Any death occuring within 5 days of admission

    Measured: First 5 days of admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing 5% Albumin (human) Solution and Paeds solution in people with Burns, run by King Edward Medical University at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 7 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 25 Jan 2024. 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 Pakistan. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Resuscitation Volume (time frame: 24-48 hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06224777, 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 25 Jan 2024.
