Burn patient data could help predict deadly infections
NCT ID NCT07223684
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 80 adults with serious burns to understand how their bodies respond to injury and treatment. Researchers collect blood and tissue samples and review medical records to find patterns that might predict sepsis and other complications. The goal is to build computer models that could one day help doctors make better decisions for burn patients.
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 successful, this could lead to better computer tools that help doctors predict and prevent serious infections in burn patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It only collects data and samples, so it won't directly change patient care. The models may not work as hoped.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female ages 18 years and older (maximum age of 80 years old) with burn injury or related illness requiring surgical care or treatment in a critical care or emergency setting who are being cared for at an SC2i-member clinical care facility (Emory/Grady, USF and USAISR) will be considered for study. * Burn Injury \>10% TBSA * Ability to understand the purposes and risks of the study and willingly give written informed consent, or in the case of incapacitated patients, a willing legally authorized representative (LAR) is able to give written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Any condition that, in the opinion of the attending physician, would place the patient or volunteer subject at undue risk by participating. Specific conditions include but are not limited to anemia prohibitive of phlebotomy, or technical considerations that would prevent acquisition of sufficient tissue for clinical use. * Pregnant patients * Minors \< 18 years of age * Prisoners
