ILOPROST in Septic Shock With Persistent Microperfusion Defects (I-MICRO)
- Registration Number
- NCT03788837
- Lead Sponsor
- Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
- Brief Summary
Septic shock remains a major cause of death in critically ill patients. Alterations in microcirculation have long been proposed as a key pathophysiological factor of organ dysfunction and death in septic shock patients. Persistence of mottling, prolonged skin recoloration time and cyanosis of the extremities are the easily and frequently observed manifestations of these microcirculatory disorders. Ilomedin is a prostaglandin analog with a potent vasodilatory effect together with anti-thrombotic properties (inhibition of platelet aggregation) preferentially at the microcirculatory level. An increase in cardiac output with increased arterial oxygen delivery has been observed in clinical and preclinical studies with no episodes of hypotension. Improvement in mesenteric perfusion has moreover been observed in experimental sepsis using Ilomedin. Our group has furthermore reported that administration of Ilomedin in patients with refractory septic shock (peripheral hypoperfusion) resulted in a rapid and sustained improvement in peripheral perfusion. Altogether, Ilomedin may prevent or improve recovery of organ dysfunction in septic shock patients through recruitment of the microcirculation and, thereby, ultimately improve outcome.
- Detailed Description
In the 32 participating centers: patients with septic shock and persistent peripheral hypoperfusion despite hemodynamic optimization (skin mottling and/or finger skin recoloration time \> 3sec, and/or knee skin recoloration time \> 4sec), after 6 to 24 hours of norepinephrine onset will be eligible for randomization.
Patients fulfilling the eligibility criteria will be included and randomized by the intensivist in two groups:
\*Experimental group: The patient will receive treatment with intravenous Iloprost (blinded) therapy at a dose of 0.5 ng/kg/min with increments of 0.5 ng/kg/min every 30 minutes up to a maximum posology of 1.5ng/kg/min for 48h.
Placebo group: The patient will receive treatment with intravenous NaCl 0.9% (placebo-double blinded) therapy at a dose of 0.5ng/kg/min with increments of 0.5 ng/kg/min every 30 minutes according to body weight with a maximum posology of 1,5 ng/kg/min for 48h.
Primary outcome will be Delta Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score between infusion onset and day 7.
\*within the 12 first hours after randomization : blood samples : 15 ml of blood will be collected at the same time as the sample routinely collected, within the 12 first hours after randomization in ICU, when the patients are perfused.
The blood will be drawn and worked as follows:
* 2 x EDTA tubes of 5 ml : After centrifugation each tube will be directly divided into 4 aliquots of 500 µL (8 aliquots per patient)
* 1 x aprotinine tube of 5 ml : After centrifugation, it will be directly divided into 4 aliquots of 500 µL
The aliquots previously will be stored locally, and will be transported to the "Centre de Ressources Biologiques" (CRB) of the Lariboisière Hospital.

Group Intervention Description Intravenous Placebo NaCl Treatment with intravenous NaCl 0.9% therapy with incremental infusion rate every 30 minutes for 48h intravenous ILOPROST ILOPROST a first dose of ILOPROST of 0.5ng/kg/ min with increments every 30 minutes up to a maximum of 1,5 ng/kg/min for 48h
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Delta (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)) score between infusion onset and day 7. SOFA score assesses organ failure (respiratory, hemodynamics, liver, coagulation, neurological and kidney) in ICU patients. 7 days after randomisation SOFA and Delta SOFA calculation will be performed by the Intensivist. Patients deceased before day 7 will be attributed a maximum SOFA score.
SOFA score range from 0 (no organ failure) to a maximum of 24 (worst SOFA score).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method mortality At day 28 Mean SOFA score during the first 7 days after randomization 7 days after randomization SOFA and Delta SOFA calculation will be performed by the Intensivist.
Number of renal replacement therapy-free survival days in the 28 days post randomization - Between randomization and day 28. It will be calculated as the number of survival days without renal replacement therapy
Number of vasopressor-free survival days in the 28 days post randomization Between randomization and day 28. It will be calculated as the number of survival days without vasopressor therapy
Microcirculation At the baseline, and between day 2 and day 7 Monitoring of microcirculation using non-invasive monitoring devices including: photoplethysmography,cutaneous Doppler coupled with iontophoresis, near-infrared spectroscopy, videomicroscopy, tissular PCO2, urethral photoplethysmography, perfusion index using phtoplethysmography
Number of ventilation-free survival days in the 28 days post randomization Between randomization and day 28. It will be calculated as the number of survival days without mechanical ventilation
Number of survival days outside ICU in the 28 days post randomization Between ICU discharge and day 28 It will be calculated by the number of days between ICU discharge and day 28 in survivors of ICU stay.
Molting score at day 1 after randomization. At day 1 after randomization In order to identifying and quantifying microcirculatory dysfunction in septic shock. A picture of patient's knees will be taken.
Molting score range from 0 to a maximum of 5 :
0. - No mottling
1. - Coin sized mottling area on the knee.
2. - To the superior area of the knee cap.
3. - Mottling up to the middle thigh
4. - Mottling up to the fold of the groin
5. - Severe mottling that extends beyond the the groin.Conservation of plasma for future biological measurements within 10 years after the end of the study. 15 ml of blood will be collected at the same time as the sample routinely collected, within the 12 first hours after randomization, when the patients are perfused.
