Can a simple protein improve burn survival?
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.

Who is studied
it is a population of adults burned to more than 30% of total skin surface. In fact, beyond this surface, the investigators expect to observe a large volume of perfused crystalloid and potentially an incidence of the primary endpoint of around 40%. These are the people who could potentially benefit the most from albumin therapy.
