Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Pharmacoeconomic, Therapy, Efficacy

Main objective is composed by:
-Reduction of organ failure evaluated by Sepsis realted Organ failure
Assessment score (SOFA scale) 72 h after administration of terlipressin
/ placebo.
-Increase in ICU-free days of life measured 28 days after administration
of terlipressin / placebo

Secondary objectives 10

  1. Increase in lactate clearance at 6, 12, 24 and 72 h after administration of terlipressin / placebo
  2. Increase in the days with life free of mechanical ventilation measured at 28 days
  3. Increase in vasopressor-free days of life measured at 28 days
  4. Mortality at 28 days and 90 days
  5. Reduction of the need for continuous renal replacement therapy
  6. Reduction of the total equivalent dose of vasopressors
  7. No increase in adverse effects related to the administration of vasopressors.
  8. Association with mortality of genetic variants of the vasopressin receptor 1a and LNPEP
  9. Association between achievement of the combined primary objective and genetic variants of the vasopressin receptor 1a and LNPEP.
  10. Association between the appearance of adverse effects due to the use of terlipressin and genetic variants of the vasopressin receptor 1a and LNPEP.

1 Noradrenaline plus placebo vs noradrenaline plus terlipressin for the treatment of septic shock
Double blind randomized clinical trial comparing noradrenaline plus placebo versus noradrenaline plus terlipressin in septic shock
Randomised Controlled Double [{"id":67373,"code":1,"name":"Subject"},{"id":67372,"code":3,"name":"Monitor"},{"id":67371,"code":2,"name":"Investigator"}] Experimental treatment: Patients who require noradrenaline at a dose equal to or greater than 0.2 μg/kg/min for at least 3 hours and no more than 12 hours from the moment the patient becomes recruitable, considered for inclusion in the study, are administered terlipressin at a dose of 1 mg every 6 hours diluted in 50 mL of saline to be administered over 15-30 minutes, at a dose of 1 mg every 6 hours.
Control treatment: Patients who require a baseline noradrenaline infusion at a dose equal to or greater than 0.2 μg/kg/min for at least 3 hours and no more than 12 hours from the moment the patient becomes recruitable, considered for inclusion in the study, are subsequently administered a placebo, indistinguishable from the terlipressin vial, every 6 hours.

Exclusion criteria 12

  1. Pregnant or lactating patients
  2. Pathologies on which terlipressin is clinically indicated: gastrointestinal bleeding due to esophageal-gastric varices, hepatorenal syndrome.
  3. Patients diagnosed with unstable acute coronary syndrome.
  4. Patients with acute or chronic mesenteric ischemia
  5. Patients with Raynaud's Phenomenon, or vasospastic disease.
  6. Patients participating in another intervention clinical trial.
  7. Patients with active bleeding.
  8. Patients with renal replacement technique at the time of randomization.
  9. Patients with some limitation of life support treatment (LLST).
  10. Previous use of terlipressin during your stay in the ICU
  11. Previous use of vasopressin.
  12. Known allergy to terlipressin
