Scientists investigate tiny blood particles to improve burn recovery
NCT ID NCT03077269
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how blood clotting and inflammation change over time in adults with serious burns. Researchers examined tiny particles released by cells into the blood, which may play a role in infections and inflammation. The goal was to learn how to reduce bleeding, transfusions, and infections in burn patients. The study was terminated early, but the findings may still help guide future care.
