ABRUPT2 Trial Summary

This trial will compare two methods of fluid resuscitation for people with burns covering at least 25% of their body.

Who is the study for?
Adults with severe burns covering at least 25% of their body, admitted to a burn center within 12 hours of injury and needing fluid resuscitation can join. Excluded are those with major trauma, certain pre-injury conditions like kidney or liver disease, heart dysfunction, pregnancy, or specific treatments received before the trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing two ways to help adults recover from severe burns by giving fluids. One group gets lactated Ringer's solution plus albumin (a protein), while the other gets just lactated Ringer's. The goal is to see which method works better for resuscitation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Albumin may cause allergic reactions, fluid overload leading to swelling or heart problems, and electrolyte imbalances. Lactated Ringer’s might lead to similar issues but without the risks associated with proteins.

ABRUPT2 Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: CrystalloidActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects in the crystalloid group will receive fluid resuscitation with Lactated Ringer's titrated each hour to achieve a urine output of 0.5-1mL/kg predicted body weight.
Group II: ColloidActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects in the colloid group will receive fluid resuscitation with Lactated Ringer's and 5% human albumin solution introduced no earlier than 8 hours post burn and no later than 12 hours post burn in a ratio by volume of 1/3 albumin to 2/3 Lactated Ringer's, and titrated each hour to achieve a urine output of 0.5-1mL/kg (milliliter/kilogram) predicted body weight.
