5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study. A total of 40 patients who develop distributive shock, intra-operatively or post-operatively within 48 hours of heart transplant or left ventricular assist device placement will be enrolled. Participants will be randomized to Angiotensin II (Giapreza) vs. placebo plus standard of care, as a first line agent for vasoplegia. Two groups of patients will be enrolled: * Group A: Heart Transplant (10 control, 10 treatment) * Group B: LVAD implant (10 control, 10 treatment)
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of LJPC-501 infusion on mean arterial pressure (MAP) or reduction in sum norepinephrine (NE) equivalent dosing, at Hour 2 after the start of LJPC-501, in pediatric patients who remain hypotensive despite receiving fluid therapy and vasopressor therapy. In addition, this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of LJPC-501 in pediatric patients, the change in MAP over 24 hours after the start of LJPC-501, the change in serum lactate concentrations, and the change in Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) scores.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of fluid alternations, hemodynamic changes, mechanical ventilation, pharmacologic agents, positional changes, and comorbidities on the Peripheral Intravenous waveform Analysis (PIVA) signal.
This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized study of LJPC-501 (angiotensin II) in adult patients diagnosed with catecholamine-resistant hypotension (CRH) conducted in multiple centers globally.
The investigators propose a dose finding study to determine the feasibility of Angiotensin II (AII) to increase mean arterial pressure in high-output shock. If AII can be shown to increase mean arterial pressure, this could lead to future pharmacologic development based on the AII hormonal pathway. The investigators propose a 20 patient, randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded study in the treatment of high-output shock. Patients with high-output shock and a cardiovascular SOFA (sequential organ failure score) score of \> 4 will be eligible. In addition, patients must already be receiving cardiac output monitoring and have a cardiac index \> 2.4 L/min/ 1.73 m2. Patients will be randomized to intravenous AII or saline in a blinded fashion. There will be 10 patients in each arm. This is a safety and dose finding feasibility study. The investigators are starting with a small cohort consistent with similar types of studies. The investigators estimate that ten patients in each arm will generate a basis for determining if there is sufficient signal for AII to improve blood pressure at the doses outlined. The primary endpoint in the study will be the effect of AII on the standing dose of norepinephrine which is required to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg. Secondary endpoints will be the effect of AII on urine output, serum lactate, and creatinine clearance. 30 day post dose mortality will also be assessed. Subjects discharged prior to day 30 will be contacted by telephone for this assessment.
