Trial summary

Septic shock is a clinical syndrome occurring in 10 to 20% of patients admitted in ICV. Mortality associated to septic shock varies from 30 to 50%. It follows a systemic response of the organism to a severe infection, associated with a circulatory failure marker by an arterial hypotension and a vascular hyperactivity… Read more about this study

About this study

Septic shock is a clinical syndrome occurring in 10 to 20% of patients admitted in ICV. Mortality associated to septic shock varies from 30 to 50%. It follows a systemic response of the organism to a severe infection, associated with a circulatory failure marker by an arterial hypotension and a vascular hyperactivity to vasoconstrictor agents.

The mechanisms involved on one hand an activation of white blood cells inflammatory system and the vascular inflammatory system; and on the other hand on imbalance in hemostatis characterized by an activation of the coagulation and an inappropriate fibrinolysis leading to a disruption of microcirculation in the context of a disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIVC).

This inflammatory and thrombotic cellular activation is strongly associated with the phenomenon of vesiculation; leading to the production of cellular microparticles (MP) by blood cells and vascular cells.

MP are membranous vesicles, resulting in the reassortment of membrane phospholides in response to an activation of cellular apoptosis. They have been initially described as new actors of hemostatis. Indeed, the expression of phospholipid serine and tissular factor (TF) confer them a procoagulating activity, which increases in patients undergoing septic shock.

The finding of a fibriniolytic activity of the cellular MP suggests the existence of compensating mechanisms with a procoagulating activity. This confers to MP a key-role in the control of the coagulolytic balance.

Our recent researches suggest that endothelial and white blood cells MP produce in vivo plasmin.

They carry into the main circulation a fibrinolytic activity which is partially beyond the physiological inhibitors activity (PAI-1, x 2 antiplasmin). Preliminary findings show that this ability of plasmin generation is important in patients affected with septic shock.

Our hypothesis is that an increase in plasmin generation by MP compensates the risk of occurrence of microthrombosis, modulating therefore the vital prognosis of patients with septic shock.

The coagulolytic balance of MP, which is resulting of their own procoagulating and fibrinolytic activities could claim the status of new pronostic marker relevant in patients with septic shock.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluate the interest of the measure of the coagulolytic balance, dependant of the circulating MP in the prognostic of mortality in a population of subjects presenting a septic shock.

    The outcome of the study is to evaluate the interest of the measure of the coagulolytic balance, dependant of the circulating MP in the prognostic of mortality in a population of subjects presenting a septic shock. The objective is to evaluate the performance of this dosage while estimating the ROC-surve.

    In this present project:

    • the coagulolytic balance dependant of the MP is defined by the ratio between the activity of production of thrombin of circulating MP expressed by a speed in nM thrombin per minutes : and the activity of production of plasmin of circulating MP expressed by a speed in DD per minutes measured at inclusion of the subjects ; within 48 hours after diagnosis ;

    Measured: 36 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing blood draw in people with the Coagulolytic Balance and the Mortality Rate, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 30 May 2019. 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 France. 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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the interest of the measure of the coagulolytic balance, dependant of the circulating MP in the prognostic of mortality in a population of subjects presenting a septic shock. (time frame: 36 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02062970, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 May 2019.
