Protective Effect of Sivelestat Sodium on ARDS in Patients With Sepsis

Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
ARDS
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04973670
Lead Sponsor
Southeast University, China
Brief Summary

Sivelestat sodium has been approved for use in patients with SIRS and ALI, but whether it can protect patients with sepsis from developing ARDS remains unknown.The aim of this study was to determine whether sivelestat sodium has a protective effect on ARDS in patients with sepsis.

Detailed Description

The study was conducted in accordance with good clinical practice and with the guidelines set out in the Declaration of Helsinki. After approval from local and national ethics committees, patients from 3 centers in China were recruited.

All patients were randomized, in a double-blind manner, to receive either sivelestat sodium regimen or a placebo regimen for 1- 7 days in ICU.

The aim of this study was to determine whether sivelestat sodium has a protective effect on ARDS in patients with sepsis.

Inflammatory factors include Interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α

Platelet count on day 1, 3 and 7 from drug administrationFrom study drug administration to days 7

Platelet count was recorded on day 1, 3 and 7 from drug administration

The 28-day shock-free daysFrom study drug administration to day 28

Days alive and free from vasopressor support which define as infusion of any vasopressor/inotrope agent for a minimum of 1 hour (i.e.norepinephrine, epinephrine, phenylephrine, vasopressin analogues, angiotensin, dopamine, dobutamine, milrinone or levosimendan) from study drug administration to day 28

The 90-day mortalityFrom study drug administration to day 90

Death of any cause from study drug administration to day 90

The 28-day time to clinical improvementFrom study drug administration to day 28

Defined as the time from randomization to an improvement of two points (from the status at randomization) on a seven-category ordinal scale or live discharge from the hospital, whichever came first. The seven-category ordinal scale consisted of the following categories: 1, not hospitalized with resumption of normal activities; 2, not hospitalized, but unable to resume normal activities; 3, hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; 4, hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5, hospitalized, requiring nasal high-flow oxygen therapy, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, or both; 6, hospitalized, requiring ECMO, invasive mechanical ventilation, or both; and 7, death.

Length of hospital stayFrom administration to discharge hospital, up to 90 days

The number of days the subject stayed in the hospital
