Study summary

The Plasma Resuscitation Early for Evaluating Volume and Endotheliopathy of Thermal Injury (PREEVEnT) trial will be a 5-year (3-year enrollment), open label, phase-3, multi-center, early in-hospital phase randomized trial utilizing burn centers from within the LITES network and will enroll approximately 750 injured adult patients who have suffered large 2nd or 3rd degree thermal burns on at least 20% of their body surface requiring burn resuscitation. The objective is to determine if initiating plasma resuscitation as soon as possible upon arrival to an emergency department or burn unit is the most effective resuscitation for those who have experienced large thermal burns and significantly reduces the morbidity and mortality attributable to post-injury complications as compared to standard in-hospital resuscitation practice.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 28-day Mortality or Persistent Organ Dysfunction

    Composite outcome consisting of 28-day all-cause mortality, or 28-day Persistent Organ Dysfunction (POD) requiring support defined as 1) any intravenous vasopressor requirement, or 2) any renal replace therapy, or 3) any ventilator support/mechanical ventilation, or 4) continued need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission at 28 days.

    Time frame: 28 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. 14-day mortality or Persistent Organ Dysfunction

    Composite Outcome consisting of of 14-day all-cause mortality, or 14-day Persistent Organ Dysfunction requiring support (any intravenous vasopressor requirement, or any renal replace therapy, or any ventilator support, or continued need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission at 14 days)

    Time frame: 14 days

  2. Arterial or venous thromboembolism in first 7 days

    Pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis, or arterial thrombosis that occurs during the primary admission hospital stay during the first 7 days from randomization. Radiographic confirmation via CT imaging, ultrasound, duplex, transthoracic or trans-esophageal echo, or ventilation/perfusion scanning will be required. If an embolic event is unable to be verified radiographically, presumed or clinical suspicion of an embolic event will also be documented.

    Time frame: 7 days

  3. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in first 7 days

    The Berlin definition for mild ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤ 300 mmHg + timing, imaging and origin criteria) will be utilized as a threshold value to determine the incidence of ARDS

    Time frame: 7 days

  4. Abdominal compartment syndrome

    Intra-abdominal hypertension requiring paralysis, and/or diagnostic peritoneal lavage, and/or decompressive laparotomy

    Time frame: Enrollment through hospital discharge or 28 days

  5. In-hospital mortality

    Death prior to hospital discharge

    Time frame: Enrollment through hospital discharge or 28 days

  6. 24-hour and 48-hour resuscitation

    All crystalloid, colloid (albumin) and plasma resuscitation, including the utilization of vitamin C

    Time frame: Enrollment through 24 hours and 48 hours

  7. Acute kidney injury

    At least one instance of a serum creatinine ≥ 1.5

    Time frame: Between 24 and 72 hours from the time of randomization

  8. Nosocomial Infection

    CDC criteria for the diagnosis of hospital-acquired pneumonia and blood stream infection will be utilized

    Time frame: 28 days

  9. Ventilator-free days

    Ventilator-free days will be determined by subtracting the number of ventilator days where mechanical ventilation was required utilizing an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy from 28 days. Patients undergoing operative interventions who remain on mechanical ventilation in the ICU will be considered to require ventilator support for that day.

    Time frame: 28 days

  10. ICU- free days

    ICU-free days will be determined by subtracting the number of days where ICU admission was required from 28 days.

    Time frame: 28 days

  11. Allergic/transfusion reaction

    Any transfusion complication during the initial 12 hours of enrollment will be documented. As the intervention is specific to the early phase of care setting and since transfusion complications are temporally related to the specific transfusion, transfusion-related complications will only be assessed during the initial 12 hours from randomization.

    Time frame: Initial 12 hours from randomization

  12. Persistent Organ Dysfunction (POD) Days

    POD days will be determined based on the number of calendar days during which the patient was determined to be in POD (≥1 on total daily score), starting at day of randomization and ending at day 28.

    Time frame: Starting at day of randomization and ending at day 28

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Aug 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2029, 36 months after the start.

Of 21 phase 3 interventional studies under Burns, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 59. This study's planned 36 months is above that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 1, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
