Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the efficacy of Pseudovac in reducing the P. aeruginosa infections which would be determined in culture tests a) Burn wound swab culture b) Blood culture c) Urine cultureTimepoint: Burn wound swab will be collected before every dressing replacement. Blood and urine culture would be performed on Day 1 & 30 and when clinically indicated. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) To assess the efficacy of Pseudovac in prevention of septicemia and death due to P. aeruginosa infections 2) To compare wound healing time in both groups 3) To assess immunogenicity and safety profile.Timepoint: P. aeruginosa IgG antibodies level in serum will be measured using ELISA on Days 1, 4, 7, 17 and 25 in both the groups. | — |
