Trial summary

Septic shock in children still carries substantial mortality and morbidity. While resuscitation with 40-60 mL/kg intravenous fluid boluses remains a cornerstone of initial resuscitation, an increasing body of evidence indicates potential for harm related to high volume fluid administration.

About this study

Official title: Adrenaline in Early Sepsis Resuscitation in Children- A Randomised Controlled Pilot Study in the Emergency Department (ANDES CHILD)

Septic shock in children still carries substantial mortality and morbidity. While resuscitation with 40-60 mL/kg intravenous fluid boluses remains a cornerstone of initial resuscitation, an increasing body of evidence indicates potential for harm related to high volume fluid administration. The investigators hypothesize that a protocol on early use of inotropes in children with septic shock is feasible and will lead to less fluid bolus use compared to standard fluid resuscitation. Here, the investigators describe the protocol of the Adrenaline in Early Sepsis Resuscitation in Children- A Randomised Controlled Pilot Study in the Emergency Department (ANDES CHILD)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FluidOther

    Sepsis will be treated with standardized therapy protocol, where participants receive fluids (balanced or non-balanced crystalloids, or colloids) to be resuscitated. Specifically, they will receive 40-60 ml/kg of fluids before the initiation of inotropes.

  • AdrenalinDrug

    Sepsis will be treated with early inotropes, where participants will receive adrenaline at a dose of 0.05 - 0.1 mcg/kg/min via peripheral intravenous, intraosseous, or central venous routes after the first fluid bolus of 20 ml/kg

Model description
The study is a two-armed control study. One of the arms is the control group, so a group of participants, that is being treated with the standard therapy. The other arm is the intervention group, a group of participants that is being treated with adrenaline. It will be random which child is assigned to which group, this insures that the study is not biased.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fluid and Adrenalin in people with Sepsis, run by NATALIA LOPERA MUNERA at 4 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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 27 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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 Natalia Lopera, MD (+57 3122978381, natalialoperam@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival free of organ support at 28 days (time frame: From time of randomization until 28 days, if death occurs, time is set to 0 days). 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 NCT06478797, which also lists 31 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.

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 27 Jun 2024.
