简要总结
A multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of two dosing frequencies of recombinant Interleukin-7 (CYT107) treatment to restore absolute lymphocyte counts in sepsis patients; IRIS-7B (Immune Reconstitution of Immunosuppressed Sepsis patients).
A parallel study will be performed in France to allow a common statistical analysis of the primary end points and analysis for the enrolled patient population.
详细描述
Sepsis is the leading cause of death in critically ill patients in most intensive care units in Europe and the US. Recently, evidence has accumulated that sepsis progresses from a state of hyper-inflammation to a state of immunosuppression. This immunosuppressive phase is characterized by increased incidence of secondary infections often with relatively avirulent opportunistic type pathogens. Currently, new therapeutic approaches to sepsis are occurring using immuno-adjuvants that boost host immunity. One of the most promising agents Interleukin-7 is an essential, non-redundant, pluripotent cytokine produced mainly by bone marrow and thymic stromal cells that is required for T-cell survival.In addition to its anti-apoptotic properties, IL-7 induces potent proliferation of naïve and memory T-cells potentially supporting replenishment of the peripheral T-cell pool which is severely depleted during sepsis. These effects were confirmed in clinical trials at the National Cancer Institute and in HIV+ patients.
This clinical study will test the ability of IL-7 to restore the absolute lymphocyte counts in septic patients who have markedly reduced levels of circulating lymphocytes. An effect already confirmed in preclinical models of sepsis.

入选标准
- •Patients of age ≥ 18 yrs and older but < 80 yrs
- •Patients with persistent suspected sepsis at 48-120 hrs after admission
- •Two or more criteria for the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (see reference #19 for SIRS criteria) and a clinically or microbiologically suspected infection.
- •At least one organ failure as defined by a SOFA (Sepsis-related organ failure assessment) score of ≥2 at any time point during the 48-120 hrs after admission to the ICU
- •Requirement of vasopressor treatment as follows: i) epinephrine or norepinephrine at ≥ 0.05 µg/kg/min ideal body weight; ii) vasopressin, or iii) dopamine at ≥ 4-5 μg/kg/min ideal body weight, continuously for 4 hrs or more, provided that at least 20 ml/kg of ideal body weight of crystalloid or an equivalent volume of colloid was administered during the 24-hour interval surrounding the start of vasopressor treatment, to maintain systolic pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or a mean arterial pressure ≥ 60 mmHg at any time point during their sepsis course preceding enrollment into the IL-7 study.
- •Lymphopenia with an absolute lymphocyte count ≤ 900 cells/mm3 at either the day of consent or the day prior to consent during their ICU stay.
- •Predicted length of stay in the ICU of up to two weeks after starting drug therapy treatment in the trial (ICU may also include a close medical ward on the same study site where the patient will remain under medical control of the Investigator).
- •Ability to obtain a signed informed consent from patient or LAR (Legally Authorized Representative) consent.
排除标准
- •Cancer with current chemotherapy or radiotherapy and/or .receipt of chemotherapy or radiotherapy within the last 6 weeks
- •Cardiopulmonary resuscitation within the previous 4 weeks without objective evidence of full neurologic recovery) or patients who have minimal chance of survival and are not expected to live > 3-5 days as defined by an APACHE II score of ≥ 35 at time of consideration for study eligibility
- •Patients with a history of or who currently have evidence of autoimmune disease including for example: myasthenia gravis, Guillain Barre syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosis, multiple sclerosis, scleroderma, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, autoimmune hepatitis, Wegener's etc.
