About this study

Official title: Immunoglobulin-M-enriched (IgM-enriched) Immunoglobulin Attenuates Systemic Endotoxin Activity in Early Severe Sepsis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of IgM-enriched immunoglobulins (Pentaglobin) on the endotoxin activity, conventional coagulation parameters, viscoelastic and aggregometric measurements of patients with severe sepsis.

Read the detailed description

Before the change of the standard operating procedure (SOP) with the implementation of the application of IgM-enriched immunoglobulins to patients with severe sepsis and septic shock conventional inflammatory and coagulation parameters, viscoelastic and aggregometric measurements as well as the endotoxin activity was measured in 15 patients. After the change of SOP the same parameters were recorded for additional 15 patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in endotoxin activity

    The endotoxin activity of the patients was measured with a point of care assay and noted in on an arbitrary scale from 0 to 1.0

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Changes in CT-NATEM

    Changes in clotting time (CT) of the naturally activated rotational thrombelastometry (ROTEM), results were noted in seconds.

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours

  2. Changes in MCF-NATEM

    Changes in maximum clot firmness (MCF) of the naturally activated rotational thrombelastometry (ROTEM), results were noted in millimeters.

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours

  3. Changes in CFT-NATEM

    Changes in clot formation time (CFT) of the naturally activated rotational thrombelastometry (ROTEM), results were noted in seconds.

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours

  4. Changes in NATEM-Alpha angle

    Changes in Alpha angle of the naturally activated rotational thrombelastometry (ROTEM), results were noted in °.

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours

  5. Changes in ADPtest

    Platelet activation was measured as the area under the curve of a multiple electrode aggregometry. Platelets were activated using adenosine diphosphate (ADPtest)

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours

  6. Changes in ASPItest

    Platelet activation was measured as the area under the curve of a multiple electrode aggregometry. Platelets were activated using arachidonic acid (ASPItest)

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours

  7. Changes in TRAPtest

    Platelet activation was measured as the area under the curve of a multiple electrode aggregometry. Platelets were activated using thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAPtest)

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours

  8. Platelet count

    Platelet count was determined in the clinical routine and noted /nl.

    Measured: Baseline, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 and 84 hours

  9. Interleukin-6

    Interleukin-6 level was determined in the clinical routine and was noted in pg/ml.

    Measured: Baseline, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 and 84 hours

  10. Leukocyte count

    Leukocyte count was determined in the clinical routine and was noted /µl.

    Measured: Baseline, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 and 84 hours

  11. Lipopolysaccharide-binding-protein (LBP)

    Lipopolysaccharide-binding-protein (LBP) was determined in the clinical routine and was noted in µg/l.

    Measured: Baseline, 24, 48 and 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis, run by Goethe University at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2015. 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 Germany. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in endotoxin activity (time frame: Baseline, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 78 and 84 hours). 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 NCT02444871, 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 28 May 2015.
