Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The treatment of patients with major burns requires resuscitation with massive amounts of fluid, typically a type of salt water that is given by vein. This frequently results in injury to vital organs, especially the lungs and kidneys, and even in death. In this study, the investigators propose to use plasma, a specially prepared blood product made from the liquid part of blood, that has undergone special treatment to reduce the risk of disease transmission. The aims include 1) reduce the amount of fluid given during the first 24 hours after a burn 2) reduce the incidence of lung injury and other complications related to the administration of funds and 3) determine if the blood product has any effect on inflammation. An overall decrease the amount of fluids that burn patients receive should decrease the potential for lung injury, decrease days in the hospital, and improve survival.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is an open-label, phase IV, multicenter, randomized controlled prospective clinical trial in patients with burns. The study model is parallel (between-patient). The intervention to be tested is Pathogen-Reduced Plasma for burn shock resuscitation vs. standard-of-care resuscitation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Plasma

Pathogen-Reduced Plasma resuscitation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pathogen-Reduced Plasma

Intervention Type DRUG

The treatment group will receive an additional infusion of Pathogen-Reduced Plasma based on the formula, hourly rate, mL/hr = (1 mL\*kg\*TBSA)/24 hr. This infusion will not be titrated. It will be discontinued at the end of the 24th postburn hour.

Crystalloid

Standardized crystalloid resuscitation

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Crystalloid Solutions

Intervention Type DRUG

The control group will receive an additional infusion of LR based on the formula: hourly rate, mL/hr = (1mL\*kg\*TBSA)/24 hr. this infusion will not be titrated. It will be discontinued at the end of the 24th postburn hour.
