Fenofibrate and Propranolol in Burn Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The proposed study will test the hypothesis that Propranolol, fenofibrate and fenofibrate plus propranolol have therapeutic, physiological, and metabolic effects that will improve clinical outcomes, and the long-term recovery, rehabilitation, and QOL in burned patients.

Phase 2/Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Determine the clinical benefits and underlying mechanisms whereby the metabolic perturbators fenofibrate and propranolol impact burn patient outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that these metabolic regulators given for one year will maintain body mass, improve muscle function by increasing protein synthesis, augment wound healing, reduce fibrosis, improve cardiovascular function, reduce systemic inflammation, restore insulin sensitivity, and decrease liver dysfunction without the risk of the hypoglycemia.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Glucose Metabolism [From randomization up to one year]
Glucose levels and amount of regular insulin infused during hospitalization.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Hypermetabolism [From randomization up to one year]
Resting energy expenditure (REE) done weekly while in hospital
- Rate pressure product [Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 5 weeks]
Multiply the subjects resting heart rate and systolic blood pressure measurements and average every 24 hours while hospitalized
