Efferon LPS hemoadsorption for severe burns
Official title: Extracorporeal Blood Purification Using Efferon LPS Hemoadsorption in Patients With Thermal Burns: Pilot Study
Run by Efferon JSC · NCT07568132 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether adding Efferon LPS hemoadsorption to standard care can help burn patients with high illness scores see if their symptoms improve and prevent organ failure.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with extensive thermal burns, inhalation injury allowed, and an RFI score 71–181 who require extracorporeal therapy and can tolerate at least 6 hours of Efferon LPS treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with isolated minor burns, non-eligible injury patterns, or conditions that contraindicate extracorporeal therapy may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study evaluates the safety and potential benefit of multimodal hemoadsorption using the Efferon LPS device in burn patients with a high risk of organ dysfunction. Participants are randomized to receive standard baseline therapy (including CRRT) or baseline therapy plus Efferon LPS hemoadsorption for at least 6 hours within 10 days of injury. The trial targets patients with extensive burns and a revised Frank index between 71 and 181, aiming to reduce systemic inflammation and progression to multiple organ dysfunction. Burn injury triggers a systemic inflammatory response that can lead to organ failure and death, and this approach seeks to attenuate that response by removing cytokines and LPS. Safety and efficacy outcomes will inform whether this extracorporeal therapy can improve clinical trajectories in severe burn care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience reduced inflammation and lower risk of multi-organ dysfunction, improving survival and recovery after severe burns.
How similar studies have gone: Prior approaches using blood purification in sepsis and inflammatory states have shown mixed results; this trial explores a burn-specific application of LPS and cytokine adsorption with limited precedent.

Inclusion Criteria: * Thermal burns (flame, scald, or contact burns), including cases combined with inhalation injury * Revised Frank Index (RFI) score ≥71 and ≤181 * Indication for extracorporeal therapy within the first 10 days after injury * The patient's condition allows Efferon LPS therapy to be performed for at least 6 hours Exclusion Criteria: * Isolated thermal-inhalation injury * Chemical, electrical, or solar burns of the skin * Combined skin burns with frostbite and/or general hypothermia * Combined trauma (electrical injury; traumatic brain injury other than concussion or mild cerebral contusion; skull, spinal, thoracic, pelvic, or femoral fractures) or acute pre-existing pathology prior to hospital admission (acute myocardial infarction, stroke, community-acquired pneumonia, or acute surgical conditions) that may influence the course and outcome of burn disease * Cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the pre-hospital stage * End-stage renal disease * Acute pulmonary embolism confirmed by imaging * Emergency surgical treatment * Any other condition which, in the investigator's opinion, precludes inclusion of the patient in the study
