Conditions
Cardiogenic Shock
Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
CHRU De Nancy
Brief Summary

To compare the effect of early introduction of empagliflozin in addition to usual management versus usual management alone at 12 weeks on a hierarchical composite morbidity endpoint including all-cause death or transplantation or long-term mechanical assistance or rehospitalization for heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction.

Inclusion Criteria

Adult patients ≥18 years old hospitalized in critical cardiac unit care or Intensive care unit for a cardiogenic shock

Who must have been or is under catecholamine for at least 12 hours for the treatment of cardiogenic shock. The definition of cardiogenic shock is as follows, adapted from the SHARC expert consensus: it refers to a patient with cardiac dysfunction resulting in a systolic blood pressure lower than 90 mmHg for at least 30 minutes (or requiring the use of vasopressors, inotropes, or mechanical circulatory support to maintain a systolic blood pressure of at least 90 mmHg) with evidence of hypoperfusion (≥ 1): •Elevated arterial lactate (>2 mmol/L), • Acute renal failure (creatinine ≥ 2x the upper normal limit) or oliguria (e.g., urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h), • Acute liver failure (e.g., AST and/or ALT > 3x the upper normal limit), • Cold extremities or mottling or capillary refill time (CRT) ≥ 3 seconds, •Altered consciousness unexplained by another cause.

Person affiliated to a social security scheme

Exclusion Criteria

GFR< 20 ml/min/1.73m2.

Specific cardiogenic shock context: a. cardiac transplant patient or on transplant list. b. of peripartum, adrenergic, non ischemic valvular, post embolic heart disease. c. related to cardiotropic drug intoxication. d. secondary to a cardiocirculatory arrest for which the patient remains comatose before inclusion..

Women of childbearing age without effective contraception

Type 1 diabete patient

Person referred to in Articles 10, 31, 32, 33 and 34 of EU Regulation 536/2014 (Pregnant woman, parturient or breastfeeding mother, Minor (not emancipated), Adult person subject to a legal protection measure (guardianship, curatorship, safeguard of justice))

Chronic dialysis

Patient on SGLT2 inhibitors prior to admission to intensive care unit or CCU

Known allergy to SGLT2 inhibitors or to any of its excipients (in particular, patients with hereditary disorders of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose or galactose malabsorption syndrome)

Patients on lithium.

Patient in shock for another cause or moribund (SAPS2> 90).
