What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Sodium LactateDrug
Also called 0.5M natrii lactatis
0.5M HSL (containing 504mM of sodium and lactate)
3% NaClDrug
active compartor 3% NaCl
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Experimental | Patients suffering from septic shock who require fluid resuscitation get 0.5M HSL (containing 504mM of sodium and lactate) Receives: Drug: Sodium Lactate |
| Group 2 | Active comparator | Patients suffering from septic shock who require fluid resuscitation get 3% NaCl (containing 513mM of sodium and chloride) Receives: Drug: 3% NaCl |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
haemodynamic effects
SV is the amount of blood that leaves the left ventricle with every beat cycle and is calculated by measuring the Doppler flow in the aortic valve.
Unit: ml
Measured: at time of start of infusion, at 30 minutes and at 60 minutes from the start of the respective fluid bolus
Secondary outcomes (3)
acid-base effect
Diagnostic approach to acid-base changes is based on the assessment of bicarbonate buffer system, in which pH is determined by the ratio of [HCO3-] to pCO2 meassured by a POC whole-blood analyzer system
Unit: [HCO3-] - mmol/l, pCO2 - kPa
Measured: at time of start of infusion, at 30 minutes and at 60 minutes from the start of the respective fluid bolus
anti-inflammatory effect
Inflammatory markers as CRP, procalcitonin, interleukin-6 and feritin are sepcific indicators linked to degree of inflammation and determined by regular biochemical analysis. The dynamics of parameters after the study fluid administration will be evaluated.
Unit: CRP - mg/l, procalcitonin - ug/l, interleukin-6 - ng/l, ferritin - ug/l
Measured: parameters measured within the last 24 hours prior to start of infusion and within 24 hours after the study fluid infusion.
Safety - Incidence of adverse events and reactions
Incidence of adverse events and reactions according to following Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) and descriptive analysis of the incidence of any adverse events and reactions during participation in the study in both study arms. AEs are defined according to the valid definitions for clinical trials as imposed by legislation (Directive 2001/20/EG).
Measured: 30 days after intervention

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Sodium Lactate and 3% NaCl in people with Septic Shock and Intracranial Hypertension, run by University Hospital Pilsen at 1 site in Czechia.
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 10 inclusion and 10 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2026. 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 Czechia. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Miroslav Kříž, MD (+420732850912, krizm@fnplzen.cz), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
haemodynamic effects (time frame: at time of start of infusion, at 30 minutes and at 60 minutes from the start of the respective fluid bolus). 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 14 Apr 2026.
