About this study

Official title: Major Burns Coagulation and the Role of Factor XIII: A Descriptive Study

Prospective observational study in which FXIII levels and coagulation tests and cicatrization are measured during the 30 days after the thermal trauma.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational pilot study in which the levels of FXIII and coagulation, anticoagulation, fibrinolysis, endothelial tissue damage and cicatrization are at the arrival of the patient to hospital, 24 hours before the first surgical intervention, 24h After the first surgical intervention, at 7 days after the first intervention and at 30 days after the thermal trauma, in this moment the healing will also be evaluated. All burn patients who meet the proposed inclusion criteria will be included and entered into the Burn Unit of the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital from the start of the study until reaching a minimum of 20 cases or a temporary term of 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Burns and Coagulation Disorder, run by Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patricia Guilabert, MD (0034934 89 30 00 ext. 3504, patricia.guilabert@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Factor XIII (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03188913, which also lists 15 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jun 2017.
