About this study

Official title: Effect of Enteral Genistein Supplementation on Inflammatory Cytokines, Morbidity and Mortality in Patients With Sepsis

To evaluate effects of genistein supplementation to enteral nutrition on inflammatory cytokines and morbidity in patients with sepsis

Read the detailed description

Sepsis is a state develops as a response to severe infection with high mortality rate. Incidence of sepsis among patients admitted to hospitals is 2%. Annual incidence of sepsis is 50-95 for 100.000 population and incidence is increasing approximately 9% each year. Severe sepsis and septic shock is the most frequent reason for mortality in intensive care units (ICU). There is exaggerated and irregular host response in sepsis. Cytokines such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, Interferon-γ and high mobility group box-1 are released as response to invading microorganisms and they play a major role in sepsis pathogenesis.

Soybean proteins are used for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis and different cancer types.

Soy isoflavones such as genistein, daidzein and glycitein are the main components for cancer prevention. Genistein is the dominant isoflavones.

The main mechanism for anti-inflammatory effect of genistein is related to transcription nuclear factor (NF-kB) and inhibition of chemokine-8. The risk for prostate cancer was proven to decrease in epidemiological studies.

NF-kB plays a central role for inflammatory cytokine release, prevents apoptosis and induces tumor cell growth. The effect of topoisomerase II inhibitory chemotherapeutic agents is increased with NF-kB inhibition.

Hypothesis

  1. Addition of genistein to enteral nutrition in patients with sepsis can play an important role to decrease inflammatory cytokines.
  2. Morbidity can be decreased with lower levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with sepsis.

  2. Length of intensive care unit and hospital stay (days)

    Patients will be followed until they are discharged from the hospital or death.

    Measured: From date of randomization until 12 weeks

  3. Duration of mechanical ventilation

    Patients will be followed until they are discharged from the hospital or death.

    Measured: From date of randomization until 12 weeks

  4. Intensive care unit mortality rate, hospital mortality rate

    Patients will be followed until they are discharged from the hospital or death.

    Measured: From date of randomization until 12 weeks

Contact Kursat Gundogan, MD (+90 352 207 6666 ext. 21919, kgundogan@erciyes.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Tumor necrosis factor alpha serum levels (time frame: Baseline, at 24th hour and at 72nd hour). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02796794, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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.
