Arm Label

Group I (standard of care)

Group II (early metabolic resuscitation)

Arm Description

Patients receive standard of care for septic shock.

Patients receive standard of care treatment for septic shock and early metabolic resuscitation (IV) over continuous infusion for up to 7 days.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With 28-day Mortality
To assess the efficacy of administering Early Metabolic Resuscitation with Standard of Care (SC + EMR) in patients diagnosed with septic shock for reducing 28-day mortality versus using the Standard of Care alone (SC). Twenty-eight day mortality is defined during the time from the day SC+EMR or SC was first administered until a patient dies or is followed through 28 days (whichever comes first).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With 90-Day Mortality
To assess whether Early Metabolic Resuscitation with standard of care (SC + EMR) is an effective strategy to reduce ICU mortality, hospital mortality, and 90-day mortality of septic shock patients relative to SC. ICU mortality is defined as mortality at ICU discharge relative to SC.
Number of Participants With Hospital Mortality
To assess whether Early Metabolic Resuscitation with standard of care (SC + EMR) is an effective strategy to reduce hospital mortality of septic shock patients relative to SC.
Number of Participants With ICU Mortality
To assess whether Early Metabolic Resuscitation with standard of care (SC + EMR) is an effective strategy to reduce ICU mortality of septic shock patients relative to SC. ICU mortality is defined as mortality at ICU discharge relative to SC.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well early metabolic resuscitation therapy works in reducing multi-organ dysfunction in patients with septic shock. Early metabolic resuscitation is made of large doses of glucose, protein, and essential metabolic molecules that may help lower the effects of septic shock on the body. Giving patients early metabolic resuscitation in combination with standard of care may work better in reducing multi-organ dysfunction syndrome in patients with septic shock compared to standard of care alone.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the efficacy of administering early metabolic resuscitation with standard of care (SC + EMR) in patients diagnosed with septic shock for reducing 28-day mortality versus using the standard of care alone (SC). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether early metabolic resuscitation with standard of care (SC + EMR) is an effective strategy to reduce intensive care unit (ICU) mortality, hospital mortality, and 90-day mortality of septic shock patients relative to SC. II. To compare the time to death from any cause between patients administered SC + EMR versus SC after being diagnosed with septic shock. III. To assess whether SC + EMR is an effective strategy to reduce complications of septic shock such as: i) acute kidney injury, ii) dialysis requirements, iii) need for cardiovascular support or days on vasopressors, iv) need for invasive ventilation, days on ventilator support, v) duration of ICU stay, and vi) duration of hospital stay versus SC. IV. To describe the presence of any adverse effects between the two study groups (SC + EMR group versus [vs] SC group); thus, characterizing their safety. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Patients receive standard of care for septic shock. GROUP II: Patients receive standard of care treatment for septic shock and early metabolic resuscitation (IV) over continuous infusion for up to 7 days.
