NCT ID NCT04264065

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study tracks 200 adults with severe burns (over 30% of body surface) to see if giving albumin in the first 24 hours after injury improves outcomes. Researchers will measure death rates, kidney failure, and severe lung problems within 28 days. The goal is to gather real-world data to guide future treatment decisions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If results show a clear link between early albumin use and better outcomes, this could pave the way for a larger trial testing albumin as a standard treatment for severe burns.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled experiment, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not lead to a change in practice without further randomized trials.
