Active clinical trials for "Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome"

The investigators developed a GMP protocol to isolate Treg cells from thymic tissue (thyTreg). The thyTreg cells are being evaluated in a Phase I/II clinical tria l to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the adoptive transfer of autologous thyTreg to prevent rejection in heart transplant children. The preliminary results of the ongoing clinical trial indicate that this therapy is not immunogenic, indicating that allogeneic use of these thyTreg cells would be feasible and safe . The goal of this open-label Phase I/IIa study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of allogeneic thymus derived Tregs (thyTreg) in controlling the Immune Hyperactivation in SARS-CoV-2 infected-patients. These thyTreg cells could inhibit an excessive inflammation, improving life-threatening manifestations, restoring immune balance, and protecting infected tissues.

The pharmacokinetics of antimicrobials is profoundly modified in Intensive care unit (ICU) patients. To adapt the treatment, it is recommended to measure blood levels of antibiotics. Some antibiotics, such as amikacin, are easy to monitor, while for other molecules, such as piperacillin/tazobactam, the drug monitoring is more difficult to obtain. These two molecules have similar physicochemical characteristics (hydrophilicity) and therefore have closed pharmacokinetic properties. OPTIMA is a study aiming at criteria will be used to judge whether the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of amikacin are predictive of those of piperacillin and tazobactam.

This is an open-label, adaptive study using the P. falciparum induced blood stage malaria (IBSM) model to characterise the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile and safety of MMV367 (the IMP). Up to 18 participants will be enrolled in cohorts of up to 6 participants each. The study will proceed as follows for all participants: Screening period of up to 28 days to recruit healthy adult participants. Day 0: Intravenous inoculation with approximately 2,800 viable P. falciparum-infected red blood cells. Days 1-3: Daily follow up via phone call or text message. Days 4-7: Daily site visits for clinical evaluation and blood sampling to monitor malaria parasite numbers via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Day 7 PM: Start of confinement within the clinical trial unit. Day 8: Administration of a single oral dose of the IMP (MMV367). Different doses of MMV367 will be administered across and within cohorts in order to effectively characterise the PK/PD relationship. Days 8-11: Regular clinical evaluation and blood sampling while confined to monitor malaria parasite numbers and measure MMV367 plasma concentration. Day 11 AM: End of confinement within clinical trial unit. Days 12-23: Outpatient follow-up for clinical evaluation and blood sampling. Day 24: Initiation of compulsory definitive antimalarial treatment with Riamet® (artemether/lumefantrine) and/or other registered antimalarials if required. Treatment will be initiated earlier than Day 24 in the event of: Insufficient parasite clearance following IMP dosing Parasite regrowth following IMP dosing Characterising the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship of MMV367 Participant discontinuation/withdrawal, Investigator's discretion in the interest of participant safety. Day 27: End of study visit for final clinical evaluation and to ensure complete clearance of malaria parasites.

Acute circulatory failure that combines hypovolemia, vasoplegia and cardiac dysfunction plays a major role in the development of sepsis-related organ dysfunction. Pathophysiological mechanisms are multiple and complex. The objective of the GENESIS study is to determine the impact of early haemodynamic assessment using echocardiography in association with a therapeutic algorithm (intervention arm), when compared with standard of care based on the current Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) recommendations (control arm), on the development of organ dysfunctions in patients admitted to the Emergency Department for sepsis or septic shock.

Acute pancreatitis is a common critical disease of the digestive system. Accumulated data showed that overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in acute pancreatitis and experimental pancreatitis could be attenuated with COX-2 inhibitors. In recent years, it has been found that timely administration of indomethacin or diclofenac sodium to anus after ERCP can significantly reduce the incidence of AP after ERCP in patients at high risk of AP. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of rectal indomethacin in reducing the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score in AP patients.

Approximately 216 patients with acute pancreatitis and accompanying SIRS will be randomized at approximately 30 sites. Patients will be randomly assigned to either Auxora at one of three dose levels or one of three placebo volumes to maintain the double-blind. Study drug infusions will occur every 24 hours for three consecutive days for a total of three infusions. Patients will remain hospitalized as per standard of care and once discharged will be asked to complete a daily meal diary and return for a Day 30 safety assessment. It is recommended that patients randomized in the study should not be discharged from the hospital until solid food is tolerated, abdominal pain has resolved or been adequately controlled, and there is no clinical evidence of infection necessitating continued hospitalization.

Single center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, pragmatic Phase 2 clinical study in severely injured trauma patients within hours of hospitalization who have survived initial resuscitation.

Lobectomy is a major, high-risk surgical procedure that in addition to one-lung ventilation (OLV) exerts a potent surgical stress response. An overwhelming immune cell recruitment may lead to excessive tissue damage, peripheral organ injury and immunoparesis. The effect of anesthesia on the immune system is modest, compared to the effects induced by major surgery. However, to an immunocompromised patient, due to cancer and/or other comorbidities, the immunosuppressive effects of anesthesia may increase the incidence of post-operative infections, morbidity, and mortality. Exogenous opioids have been correlated with immunosuppression, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, and respiratory depression, with deleterious outcomes. An Opioid-Free Anaesthesia-Analgesia (OFA-A) strategy is based on the administration of a variety of anaesthetic/analgesic and other pharmacological agents with different mechanisms of action, including immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory effects. Our basic hypothesis is that the implementation of a perioperative multimodal OFA-A strategy, will lead to an attenuated surgical stress response and attenuated immunosuppression, compared to a conventional Opioid-Based Anaesthesia-Analgesia (OBA-A) strategy. The aforementioned effects, are presumed to be associated with equal or improved analgesia and decreased incidence of postoperative infections compared to a perioperative OBA-A technique.

The goal of this study is to compare two different ways of helping patients with a condition called sepsis who need help breathing using a machine called a ventilator. The investigators want to study which way of setting the ventilator is better for the lungs. Here are the main questions the investigators want to answer: How does the amount of air in the lungs and the way it moves differ between the two ways? How does the way air spreads out in different parts of the lungs differ between the two ways? In this study, the investigators will take special pictures of the lungs using a machine called a CT scan. The pictures will show us how much the lungs stretch and how much air is in different parts of the lungs. The investigators will compare two different ways of using the ventilator: one personalized for each patient based on their breathing, and another way that is commonly used. By comparing these two ways, the investigators hope to learn which one is better for helping patients with sepsis who need the ventilator. This information can help doctors make better decisions about how to care for these patients and improve their breathing.
