Arm Type

Active Comparator

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

OctaplasLG

Ringer-Acetate

Arm Description

OctaplasLG® is an industrial donor plasma product pooled from 630 -1520 single donor units. It possesses unique features when compared to standard FFP, such as having a standardized concentration of natural pro- and anti-coagulation factors, a standardized volume as well as being pathogen-free.12 Most importantly, the manufacturing method of OctaplasLG® removes immune complexes and cells in several steps of microfiltration. The manufacturing process also inactivates viral, bacterial and prion pathogen by immune neutralization, solvent-detergent treatment and a prion specific ligand affinity chromatography step.

standard of care resuscitation fluid Ringer-acetate is a mixture of electrolytes in water to a slightly hypotonic solution.

Outcomes

Brief Summary
Efficacy and safety of OctaplasLG® administration vs. crystalloids (standard) in patients with septic shock - a randomized, controlled, open-label investigator-initiated pilot trial
Detailed Description
This is a single center, randomized (1:1, active : standard of care), controlled, open-label, investigator-initiated pilot phase IIa trial in patients with septic shock investigating the efficacy and safety of administrating OctaplasLG® as compared to crystalloids, such as Ringer-Acetate (standard of care) in a total of 40 patients. 40 patients will be enrolled: Patients in the active treatment group (n = 20 patients) will receive OctaplasLG® as volume support according to trial algorithm. Patients in the standard of care group (n = 20 patients) will receive crystalloids, such as Ringer-Acetate, as volume support according to trial algorithm. All patients will be treated according to the standard ICU care.
