About this study

Official title: Thiamine Supplementation in Patients With Septic Shock: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial

To determine if intravenous thiamine would decrease the time to reversal of shock in patients with septic shock.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomized to thiamine supplementation or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. Randomization will be done by the hospital pharmacy department whom will be the only unblinded participants. Patients will receive 200mg thiamine in 50mL of 5% dextrose or matching placebo (50mL 5% dextrose) once daily for 7 days or until discharge from the intensive care unit. The drug will be mixed by the pharmacy. Administration will be done in the patients room in the intensive care unit by the patient's assigned nurse. Blood will be collected on admission to the hospital in order to determine baseline lactate level and study eligibility. The measurement of lactate is standard of care in patients with sepsis. Thiamine level will be collected upon enrollment into the study. The ICU nurse or emergency room nurse taking care of the patient at the time of enrollment will draw the blood sample. Standard procedure for measuring thiamine levels will be maintained including protecting the blood sample from light and keeping it on ice while it is delivered to the lab. Serum lactate will be measured daily for 7 days or until discharge from the intensive care unit. The serial measurement of serum lactate is considered standard of care in patients with sepsis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Reversal of Shock

    Number of hours that the patient required vasopressors

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Time to Normalization of Lactic Acidosis

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. ICU Mortality

    Death occurring during the ICU stay

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

  2. ICU Length of Stay

    Number of days that the patient remains in the ICU after admission to the ICU

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Thiamine in people with Septic Shock and Shock, Septic, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Time to Reversal of Shock (time frame: 7 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Mar 2019.
