Recruiting PHASE3 Patients With Norepinephrine-refractory Vasoplegic Shock

Tests treatment safety and results for Patients With Norepinephrine-refractory Vasoplegic Shock

Official title Efficacy of Early Argipressin in the Management of Intensive Care Patients With Norepinephrine-refractory Vasoplegic Shock

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07063680

What this study is testing

What is Argipressin?

Argipressin is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for patients with norepinephrine-refractory vasoplegic shock.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Acute circulatory failure (shock) is defined as insufficient oxygen transport to meet the oxygen requirements of organs and tissues. Vasoplegic shock is the most frequent cause of shock, defined by vasoplegia and a drop in arterial pressure with preserved cardiac output.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.

Who can take part

Ages 18 and older

You may be able to join if

  • Patients aged ≥ 18 years
  • Vasoplegic shock defined as patient requiring vasopressor at the time of inclusion AND with a cardiac index ≥ 2.3/L/min/m² [32] (measured by...
  • Vasoplegia must be primarily caused by one of the following etiologies:
  • Sepsis (documented or clinically suspected infection)
  • Post-operative vasoplegia (following cardiac or non-cardiac surgery)

You likely can't join if

  • Patients that do not present the criteria for vasoplegic AND refractory shock at the time of inclusion anymore (resolved condition)
  • Ongoing vasopressin treatment
  • Ongoing inotrope treatment (except norepinephrine)
  • Ongoing acute coronary syndrome, mesenteric ischemia
  • Uncontrolled active bleeding
  • Vasoplegia due to neurogenic shock

Who can join
  • Patients aged ≥ 18 years
  • Vasoplegic shock defined as patient requiring vasopressor at the time of inclusion AND with a cardiac index ≥ 2.3/L/min/m² [32] (measured by echocardiography, Swan-Ganz, pulse contour analysis or thermodilution) and...
  • Vasoplegia must be primarily caused by one of the following etiologies:
  • Sepsis (documented or clinically suspected infection)
  • Post-operative vasoplegia (following cardiac or non-cardiac surgery)
  • Post hemorrhage
  • Sterile systemic inflammation (e.g., pancreatitis, burns, trauma)
  • Anaphylaxis
  • Liver failure
  • Other causes of vasoplegia
  • Refractory shock: dose of vasopressor (express as norepinephrine base equivalent) ≥ 0.25 μg/kg/min in order to maintain perfusion pressure within patient-defined targets (defined by the physician in charge of the...
  • Early intervention: Criteria for refractory AND vasoplegic shock reached for less than 12 hours.
  • Informed consent obtained from the patient or, if unable to give consent, a surrogate. If the surrogate is not available, emergency consent can be considered.
  • Covered by French national health insurance
What rules you out
  • Patients that do not present the criteria for vasoplegic AND refractory shock at the time of inclusion anymore (resolved condition)
  • Ongoing vasopressin treatment
  • Ongoing inotrope treatment (except norepinephrine)
  • Ongoing acute coronary syndrome, mesenteric ischemia
  • Uncontrolled active bleeding
  • Vasoplegia due to neurogenic shock
  • Vasospastic disease (Raynaud's disease, systemic scleroderma…)
  • Hyponatremia \<120 mmol l-1
  • Known hypersensitivity to Argipressin or to any of the excipients of REVERPLEG®.
  • Patient already enrolled in an treatment trial
  • Decision to limit life-sustaining treatments
  • Person under legal protection
  • Pregnant, parturient or breastfeeding women
