About this study

This study is designed to examine the early sequential cytokine responses during antibiotic therapy and resuscitation of septic shock in relation to clinical manifestations of disease.

The specific objective is to obtain sequential serum samples from patients with septic shock, examine a broad range of cytokine responses (TNF, IL-1, IL-6, MIF, LIF, HMGB1, etc) in a rigorous manner and correlate these responses to administration of antibiotics, resuscitative efforts and physiologic responses to illness (temp, HR, blood pressure, WBC, etc).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Septic Shock, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Anand Kumar, MD (204-291-0372, akumar61@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cytokine response in septic shock (time frame: Hours 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 96 and day 7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
