Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: [1] Must be an adult (>=18 years old) [2] Must have evidence of an infection for which the patient is receiving intravenous antimicrobial therapy (refer to Protocol Attachment EVDP.4 for guidelines). [3] Must have systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Patients must meet at least 2 of the criteria defined below during the 36 hours prior to study entry. (a) Core temperature >=38° C (100.4° F) or ?=90 beats/minute. (c) Respiratory rate >=20 breaths per minute or a PaCO2 =12,000/mm3 or 10% immature neutrophils. [4] Must have septic shock, which is defined as the following: (a) The patient must have received >=30 mL/kg of intravenous fluid during the resuscitation period. The resuscitation period begins 4 hours prior to the initiation of vasopressor therapy and ends 4 hours after start of vasopressor therapy). (b) The patient must have a continuous requirement for vasopressor support for at least 4 hours at a minimum dose of at least 1 of the vasopressors shown below: norepinephrine >=5 mcg/min dopamine >=10 mcg/kg/min phenylephrine >=25 mcg/min epinephrine >=5 mcg/min vasopressin >=0.03 units/min (c) Must have clinical signs consistent with hypoperfusion. The patient must meet at least 1 of the following criteria during the 36 hours prior to study entry: Metabolic acidosis: base deficit >=5.0 mEq/L or venous bicarbonate =2.5 mMol/L. Acute oliguria/renal injury: urine output 500 IU/dL or bilirubin >2 g/dL. Patients with a history of acute hepatitis or chronic liver disease must meet the metabolic acidosis or oliguria/renal injury criterion for evidence of hypoperfusion. [5] Patients must remain vasopressor dependent throughout the pretreatment period and through the time of randomization at any vasopressor dose with the goal of maintaining a systolic blood pressure of approximately 90 mm Hg or higher or a mean arterial pressure of approximately 65 mm Hg or higher with reasonable attempts made to wean the patient from vasopressor support, if applicable.

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: [6] Have receivedvasopressor therapy (at any dose) for greater than 24 hours prior to the start of study drug. [7] Have sepsis-induced organ dysfunction (respiratory, renal, hematologic, or unexplained metabolic acidosis; refer to Protocol Attachment EVDP.3 for definitions) for greater than 36 hours prior to the start of the study drug infusion. [8] Have single organ dysfunction and recent surgery (within 30 days of study entry). Surgery is defined as a surgical procedure that requires general or spinal anesthesia or a biopsy or surgical procedure of a closed space in which there is a high risk of significant bleeding and it would not be possible to control bleeding by external pressure. [9] Have had surgery performed within the 12-hour period immediately preceding the study drug infusion, or are postoperative with evidence of active bleeding, or have planned or anticipated surgery during the infusion period (for example, patients with staged surgeries or burn patients with planned excisions and grafting; peritoneal lavage alone is not considered planned surgery). (Refer to exclusion criterion [8] for definition of surgery.) [10] Have a platelet count 5.0. [12] Have active internal bleeding or are at increased risk for bleeding, for example: (a) History (within the previous 3 months) of stroke or severe head trauma that required hospitalization or intracranial surgery. (b) History of intracranial arteriovenous malformation, cerebral aneurysm, or central nervous system mass lesion. (c) Patients with an epidural catheter in place or who are anticipated to receive an epidural catheter during the study drug infusion. (d) History of congenital bleeding diatheses (for example, hemophilia). (e) Gastrointestinal bleeding within the 6 weeks prior to study entry that required medical intervention unless definitive/curative endoscopic procedure or surgery has been performed. (f) Patients with known esophageal varices, chronic jaundice, cirrhosis, or chronic ascites. (g) Trauma patients at increased risk of life-threatening bleeding (for example, flail chest; significant contusion to lung, liver, or spleen; retroperitoneal bleed; pelvic fracture; compartment syndrome). [13] Are receiving any of the following medications at study entry or will have a concurrent need for any of the following medications during the study drug infusion: (a) Therapeutic heparin, defined as unfractionated heparin >15,000 U/day within 8 hours of study entry or low molecular weight heparin used at any dose higher or more frequent than the recommended dose in the product label for DVT prophylaxis within 12 hours of study entry. (b) Direct thrombin inhibitors, such as argatroban, ximelagatran, melagatran, bivalirudin, lepirudin, or recombinant hirudins within 3 days of study entry. (c) Thrombolytic therapy, such as streptokinase, tPA, rPA, or urokinase (unless used to treat intra-catheter thrombosis) within 3 days of study entry. (d) Warfarin, if used within 7 days of study entry or warfarin-type medications within 5 half-lives of study entry and where the prothrombin time is prolonged beyond the upper limit of normal for the institution. (e) Antiplatelet medications, such as ticlopidine, clopidogrel, or ascetylsalicylic acid (ASA) >650 mg/day or compounds that contain ASA >650 mg/day, within 3 days of study entry. (f) Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, such as abciximab or eptifibati

| Secondary Objective: To demonstrate that treatment with drotrecogin alfa (activated) reduces 28-day all-cause mortality in adult patients with septic shock and severe protein C deficiency (baseline protein C level less than or equal to half the lower limit of normal) compared with placebo. To demonstrate that treatment with drotrecogin alfa (activated) improves cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal organ function compared with placebo. To demonstrate that treatment with drotrecogin alfa (activated) reduces 90-day and 180-day all-cause mortality in adult patients with septic shock compared with placebo. To demonstrate that patients treated with drotrecogin alfa (activated) have a similar quality of life compared with patients treated with placebo. To demonstrate that drotrecogin alfa (activated) has an acceptable safety profile in this patient population. ;Main Objective: To demonstrate that treatment with drotrecogin alfa (activated) 24 mcg/kg/h administered as an intravenous infusion for 96 hours reduces 28 day all-cause mortality in adult patients with septic shock compared with placebo.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy measure is 28-day all-cause mortality. The 28-day time point is defined at 672 hours from randomization. All patients will be classified as either “alive at Study Day 28” or, if dead, “dead at Study Day 28.” | — |
