Objectives
1. Review the mechanism and clinical evidence for oxandrolone, propranolol and insulin for metabolic modulation following acute burn injury in adult patients
2. Devise a pharmacotherapy plan for metabolic modulation following acute burns in adult patients
Patient Case• DR is a 32 yo M admitted to DSMC after burn from water heater blast
accident at home (weight 76 kg)– 40% TBSA burned by flame (2nd-3rd degree)– Face, posterior, neck, anterior trunk, upper and lower extremities
• Early excision and grating on Day 5• DR is now at DSMC 10 days after his burn• 10 days post burn, he is now:
– Loosing significant weight (76 kg -> 68 kg)– His graft sites are not healing well– His HR is consistently ~120 bpm– His ALT is 3x ULN– Blood glucose 140-160 mg/dL responsive to inulin sliding scale
What Adjuncts? • Which of the following is the optimal adjunct for efficacy and
safety in this patient?
A. Oxandrolone 10 mg PO q12h
B. Propranolol 5 mg PO q6h
C. Metformin 500 mg PO q12h
D. Testosterone 400 mg IM q2weeks
Metabolic Modulation: Flow Phase• Begins after initial stabilization
• Imbalance of catabolism and anabolism– Decreased growth hormones and testosterone
– Sustained increase in catecholamine and cortisol release (10x)
• Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance– Impaired immune function, lean muscle breakdown
• Resting energy expenditure: 180-200%– Proportional to size and severity of burn
– May persists for months to 3 years
• Complications include: lean muscle loss (1 lb/day), decreased bone density and impaired wound healing, fatty liver
Anesthesiology 2015;122:448-64
Oxandrolone• Anabolic steroid and synthetic testosterone
derivative
• Binds to intracellular androgen receptor in skeletal muscle
• Oxandrolone/androgen receptor complex migrate to nucleus and binds to DNA
– Stimulates protein synthesis and anabolism
– Increases muscle growth and reduces weight loss

Wolf (2006): Authors’ Conclusions
• Oxandrolone is associated with shorter length of stay in severe burn injury– Study stopped halfway due to significant difference between groups at
planned interim analysis– Reasons for decreased length of stay not defined in study
• Hepatic transaminases should be monitored– Significantly greater incidence of increased serum transaminases in
treatment group– Clinical relevance of increased serum transaminases unknown– Increased transaminases not associated with increases in length of
stay or other complications

RCT
Single center
Oxandrolone
(n=11)
10 mg Q12H
vs
Placebo (n=9)
Adult patients ≥ 18
years of age with 40-
70% TBSA burn with at
least 20% requiring
grafts
Oxandrolone reduced :
• Net weight loss (3 kg vs. 8 kg; p<0.05)
• Net nitrogen loss (4 g vs. 13 g; p<0.05)
• Time to epithelialization of donor site (9 days vs.
13 days; p<0.05)
No liver dysfunction or hirsutism was noted
Oxandrolone is superior
to placebo for
decreasing weight and
net nitrogen losses and
increasing donor site
wound healing.

Observational
Single center
Oxandrolone
dose undefined
(n=59)
vs
Placebo (n=58)
Started within 7
days of injury
Adult patients ≥ 18
years of age with more
than 20% TBSA burn
No other concurrent
trauma
Mean duration of oxandrolone 43 days
Oxandrolone was associated with reduced morality
(OR 0.1; 95% CI 0.02-0.7; p<0.02) in adjusted analysis
Oxandrolone did not appear to reduce the number of
surgical procedures, number of units transfused,
number of ventilator days, LOS, nosocomial infections
or multiple organ failure
Oxandrolone may be
associated with
improved survival in
severe burn injury.
Further validation with a
RCT is needed.

Oxandrolone

(n=38)
vs
Placebo (n=129)
Started within 7
days of injury
Adult patients ≥ 18
years of age with more
than 15% TBSA burn
1:1 matching for CSI, age and TBSA burn
Oxandrolone reduced the LOS (33.6 days vs. 43.4
days; p=0.03)
Oxandrolone is
associated with shorter
length of stay in severe
burn injury while
controlling for CSI, TBSA,
and age.
Oxandrolone Considerations• ABA Guidelines: not addressed, most ABA centers use
• Consider Oxandrolone 10 mg Q12H if >20% TBSA– Initiate following fluid resuscitation and initial stabilization
– Use with caution: concurrent edema or fluid retention issues, concurrent glucocorticoids, history of coronary artery disease or hyperlipidemia, active bleeding
– Avoid: Carcinoma of prostate or breast, hepatic impairment, pregnancy, nephrosis, hypercalcemia
– Monitor: LFT and serum calcium at baseline and weekly, adrenergic side effects
– Continue until discharge to hospital or rehab or wound closure

Propranolol• Attenuates excessive cardiovascular and catabolic response
• Modulates metabolic response – ↓ oxygen demand
– ↓ resting energy expenditure
• Reduces catecholamine induced
muscle breakdown and lipolysis
• Modifies immune response
• Majority of data in peds

Propranolol RCT Design Study Population
Single center, prospective, randomized, blinded trial
N = 81
Treatment Group (n = 37)Propranolol 1 mg/kg/day in 6 divided doses (max 1.98 mg/kg/day)Adjusted to decrease resting HR by 20%
Control Group (n = 42)Placebo
Inclusion- Adult patients 16-60 years of age with 20 –
50% TBSA burns- Started on the 4th day after HD stable
Exclusion- Cardiac, endocrine, PVD- History of asthma- SBP <90, HR <60 after resuscitation- Inhalation injury

Survival Differences?
Mortality 13.5% Propranolol vs. 14.28% Control (p=0.92)
No difference in sepsis either
Mohammadi (2009): Conclusions
• In severe burn, propranolol is associated with: – Improved wound healing and decreased healing time
• Preservation of protein and amino acid stores• Regeneration of epithelial cells and granulation tissue
– Shorter length of stay
• No apparent reduction in infectious complications or mortality
• Well tolerated (1 patient experience hypotension)

How is Propranolol Used?
J Burn Care Res 2006;27(2):131-9 LeCompte MT, et al. Burns 43;2017:121-126.
Propranolol Considerations• ABA Guidelines: not addressed, most ABA centers use
• Consider Propranolol 5-10 mg Q6H if >20% TBSA– Initiate following fluid resuscitation and initial stabilization (48 hrs-7 days)
– Use with caution: elderly, hepatic or renal dysfunction, chronic pulmonary conditions
– Avoid: HD unstable, bradyarrhythmia, HF, concurrent beta-blocker/antiarrhythmic
– Titrate by 5 mg/dose each day until a 15-20% reduction in resting HR (MAX 4 mg/kg/day)
– Monitor: Hold if HR <60, SBP<90 and restart 16 hours later at 50% of the dose
– Duration: Based on improved HD but wean over 2-4 days prior to discharge

$ (50% tbsa, 80 kg) $10.48/tab – 30 day $629 $0.31/tab – 30 day $37.20
Hyperglycemia and Insulin Resistance• Insulin has multiple mechanisms
– Mediates glucose uptake into adipose tissue & skeletal muscle– Suppresses hepatic gluconeogenesis– Increases DNA replication and protein synthesis via amino acid uptake,
increasing fatty acid synthesis and decreasing proteolysis
• Insulin treatment can ↑ wound healing, ↑ protein balance (dose dependent) prevent infections and possibly reduce mortality
• Aim for euglycemia (start >150 mg/dL, maintain <130 to 150 mg/dL)• Metformin may reduce hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and
promotes protein synthesis– Avoid if at risk for lactic acidosis (renal, hepatic dysfunction, tissue hypoxia)
Diaz EC, et al. Burns 2015; 41:649-657.
Conclusion
✓Metabolic modulation adjunct✓Oxandrolone: ↓ LOS, ?mortality?, wt loss, ↑ wound healing
✓Propranolol: ↓ LOS, ↑ wound healing, time to grafting
✓ Insulin for euglycemia: ↑ wound healing, ↓ infection,? mortality
✓Data limited by high quality RCT
✓Many trials ongoing, hopeful future
