Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Septic Shock Biological: Adrecizumab Biological: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter proof of concept and dose-finding phase II study using two doses of ADRECIZUMAB in patients with early septic shock and a bio-ADM plasma concentration at admission of > 70 pg/ml.

"Early" septic shock is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction due to dysregulated host response to a proven or suspected infection which leads to a decline of Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg, which is refractory to fluid resuscitation and requires vasopressors. Early is defined as a maximum of less than 12 hours between onset of the cardiovascular organ-dysfunction and administration of ADRECIZUMAB. Refractoriness to fluid resuscitation is defined as a lack of response to the administration of 30 mL of fluid per kilogram of body weight or is determined according to a clinician's assessment of inadequate hemodynamic results.

It is intended to enroll 300 patients from surgical, medical and mixed ICU at multiple centers in Europe.

All patients will be treated according to "International Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock".

Eligible patients (confirmed by central verification) will be randomized (1:1:2) to ADRECIZUMAB treatment arm A (2 mg/kg) or to ADRECIZUMAB treatment arm B (4 mg/kg) or to placebo as control group. Patients assigned to the treatment arm A or B will be administered a single dose of ADRECIZUMAB as intravenous infusion over approximately 1 hour; patients assigned to the control group will be administered placebo as intravenous infusion over approximately 1 hour.

As long as the patients are on the ICU, daily measurements of clinical signs and laboratory data will be collected for safety reasons and for determination of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA score). Additional blood samples for central laboratory analyses will be taken at inclusion on day 1, day 3, day 5, day 7 or day of discharge (whatever comes first) for measurement of biomarkers.

The SOFA score and its components will be determined daily for all patients over the entire stay on the ICU (28 days or until discharge whatever comes first). Safety monitoring for each patient will begin at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form and continue for 90 days after end of short-term infusion of study medication.

At selected study centers a pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy will be performed to determine the profile of ADRECIZUMAB in 80 randomized patients.

An interim analysis for efficacy is planned after 50% of patients have completed the study (n=150).

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy to be Determined by Sepsis Support Index (SSI) [ Time Frame: 14 days ]

    The primary efficacy endpoint of this study is the Sepsis Support Index (SSI) defined as: days with organ support or dead within 14 day follow up More precisely: In the time frame of 14 day follow-up, each day on support with vasopressor, and/or mechanical ventilation, and/or renal dysfunction (defined as renal SOFA = 4), or not alive, is counted as 1. The sum over the follow up period is defined as SSI.

    Minimum value possible is 0, maximum value is 14. A higher score means a worse outcome.


  2. Sepsis Support Index (SSI) [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
    Sepsis Support Index (SSI) at 28 day follow-up Minimum value possible is 0, maximum value is 14. A higher score means a worse outcome.

  3. Penalized Sepsis Support Index (pSSI) at 14 Day Follow-up [ Time Frame: day 14 ]

    Penalized Sepsis Support Index (pSSI) at day 14, defined similar to the SSI with the exception that patients that die get penalized by assigning the maximum value, i.e. the pSSI is set to 14 or 28, respectively.

    Minimum value possible is 0, maximum value is 14. A higher score means a worse outcome.


  4. Persistent Organ Dysfunction or Death at 14 and 28 Day Follow-up [ Time Frame: day 14 and day 28 ]
    Persistent organ dysfunction or death at 14 and 28 day follow-up. Count of participants with either persistent organ dysfunction or death at Day 14 and Day 28. Persistent Organ Dysfunction is defined as the persistence of organ dysfunction requiring supportive technologies during the convalescent phase of critical illness and it is present when a patient has an ongoing requirement for vasopressors, dialysis, or mechanical ventilation at the outcome assessments time points, as defined by Heyland et al.; Persistent organ dysfunction plus death: a novel,composite outcome measure for critical care trials.

Thus the SSI and pSSI score may range between zero and 28. A higher score means a worse outcome. The number of participants analyzed differs per row due to missing data.

  7. SSI Weighted for Mortality [ Time Frame: day 14 ]
    Sepsis Support Index (SSI) Weighted for Mortality. Minimum value possible is 0, maximum value is 14. A higher score means a worse outcome.

    Individual Sepsis Support Index (SSI) components (hemodynamic, respiratory and renal failure) with and without mortality.

    Minimum value possible is 0, maximum value is 14. A higher score means a worse outcome. The number of participants analyzed differs per row due to missing data.

  22. Patient Reported Outcomes : Quality of Life by Euro-QoL-5 [ Time Frame: day 28 and day 90 ]
    Patient reported outcomes: Quality of Life Form by EuroQoL Group, version "Euro-QoL-5" (day 28 and day 90). Change 1 = Visual analog scale (VAS) at discharge - VAS at day 90. Change 2 = VAS at day 28 - VAS at day 90. Minimum value on the scale is 0, maximum value on the scale is 100. A lower score indicates a worse outcome. As the change between two scores is calculated, a negative number indicates a worsening.

  23. Vital Signs [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
    Vital signs: heart rate (beat per minute) Change from baseline to Day 7.

  24. Penalized Sepsis Support Index (pSSI) at 28 Day Follow-up [ Time Frame: day 28 ]
    Penalized Sepsis Support Index (pSSI) at 28 day follow-up, is a version of the SSI where mortality is given extra weight: Patients being alive duringthe 14 days' follow up will have an SSI ranging up to 14 (as defined above), while patients who died within that period will be assigned a score of "14 plus the number of days not being alive". Thus the weighted SSI score may range between zero and 28. A higher score means a worse outcome.
