Blood Purification for the Treatment of Pathogen Associated Shock

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study is a multi-center, randomized controlled feasibility trial to evaluate the initial safety and efficacy of a novel extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) therapy in critically ill patients with pathogen associated shock across 15 U.S. sites. Adults (18 years old and older) admitted to the ICU with all of the following: • Pathogen associated shock defined as: * The need for vasopressors to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg despite adequate fluid resuscitation * Presence of a pathogen detected in the bloodstream within 72 hours of screening using commercially available in-vitro diagnostic testing

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. Admitted to an ICU with pathogen associated shock defined as:
  2. * The need for vasopressors to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg despite adequate fluid resuscitation, AND
  3. * Presence of a pathogen detected in the bloodstream within 72 hours of screening using commercially available in-vitro diagnostic testing
  4. 2. Male or non-pregnant female adult
  5. 3. At least 18 years of age at time of enrollment
  1. 1. Pregnant or breast feeding
  2. 2. Anticipated transfer to another hospital (that is not a study site) within 72 hours for any reason
  3. 3. Not anticipated to survive more than 24 hours
  4. 4. Known allergy to heparin sodium
  5. 5. Patients who cannot tolerate placement of double-lumen catheter
  6. 6. High risk of bleeding (platelet count \<50mm3 or International Normalized Ratio (INR) \>2) unless adequate line for treatment already placed (e.g. ECMO or RRT/CRRT)
  7. 7. Inability to tolerate extracorporeal therapy (defined as MAP\<65 despite fluids and vasopressors)
  8. 8. Advanced cancer (defined as stage IV) with life expectancy of less than 30 days
  9. 9. Unable to obtain informed consent from either patient or legally authorized representative (LAR)
  10. 10. Hypotension and volume depletion due to etiologies other than sepsis.
  11. 11. Neutropenia with an absolute neutrophil count \<500mm3
  12. 12. Patients must be treated with one of the antimicrobial agents listed in the Antimicrobial Management Guideline (Table 19). Patients who require treatment with an antimicrobial outside of this list while still receiving treatment with the investigational device must be excluded from the study.
  13. 13. If a patient enters the study and later requires a change in the antimicrobial agent used to one which is not listed in the Antimicrobial Management Guideline while still receiving treatment with the investigational device, that patient must be removed from this trial. Clinical data for any patient removed from the trial for this reason will continue to be collected for safety evaluation".
  14. 14. Patient is a prisoner or member of a different vulnerable population that should not be included in the study per the investigator or IRB/ethics committee.
  15. 15. Advanced directive for "Do Not Resuscitate".
