简要总结
This study is an open-label, multi-center, interventional trial in which children with sepsis-induced MODS undergo surveillance immune function testing beginning on Day 2 of MODS. Those children who demonstrate immunoparalysis (TNF-alpha response <200 pg/ml) will receive a 7-day course of GM-CSF at a dose of 125 or 250 mcg/m2/day by either the intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SQ) route.
The goal of the study is to establish the dose and route of delivery that results in resolution of immunoparalysis (TNF-alpha response >=200 pg/ml) by the morning after the 3rd scheduled dose with persistent resolution of immunoparalysis on the morning after the 7th scheduled dose. Resolution of immunoparalysis in 8 out of the first 10 subjects in a study treatment arm represents a successful dose and route. The goal of this study will be achieved through the following Specific Aims:
Specific Aim 1. Establish the immunologic efficacy of GM-CSF administered by the IV and SQ routes in children with immunoparalysis in the setting of sepsis-induced MODS.
Specific Aim 2. Estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters by the IV and SQ GM-CSF administered in pediatric sepsis-induced MODS.
Specific Aim 3. Demonstrate the feasibility of screening, enrollment, drug delivery, and sample collection for a multi-center immunostimulation trial in children with sepsis-induced MODS.

研究组 & 干预措施
IV GM-CSF 125 mcg/m2/dose
Subjects in this arm who demonstrate immunoparalysis will receive GM-CSF by the intravenous (IV) route at a dose of 125 mcg/m2/day for 7 consecutive days.
干预措施: GM-CSF (Drug)
SQ GM-CSF 125 mcg/m2/dose
Subjects in this arm who demonstrate immunoparalysis will receive GM-CSF by the subcutaneous (SQ) route at a dose of 125 mcg/m2/day for 7 consecutive days.
干预措施: GM-CSF (Drug)
IV GM-CSF 250 mcg/m2/dose
If the IV 125 mcg/m2/dose arm is not successful in the first cohort of subjects, we will transition to 250 mcg/m2/day via the IV route for 7 consecutive days in a subsequent cohort.
干预措施: GM-CSF (Drug)
SQ GM-CSF 250 mcg/m2/dose
If the SQ 125 mcg/m2/dose arm is not successful in a cohort of subjects (or if the IV dose had to be escalated to 250 mcg/m2/dose), we will transition to 250 mcg/m2/day via the SQ route for 7 consecutive days in a subsequent cohort.
干预措施: GM-CSF (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
TNF-alpha response
时间窗: Subjects will be screened for immunoparalysis throughout their first three weeks of sepsis-induced MODS
Success in a cohort is defined as improvement in the whole blood ex vivo LPS-induced TNF-alpha production capacity (TNF response) to \>= 200 pg/ml by the morning after the 3rd dose and persisting to the morning after the 7th dose in at least 8 out of 10 treated subjects within a cohort
