Treatment with Iloprost and Integrilin compared to standard care in severe pneumonia patients with severe sepsis.

Double-blinded, randomized trial in severe pneumonia patients with severe sepsis investigating the safety and efficacy of co-administration of iloprost and ascending doses of eptifibatide compared to low-molecular-weight heparin.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluating the safety and efficacy of co-administration of Eptifibatide and Iloprost as compared to placebo in addition standard care in severe pneumonia patients with severe sepsis or septic chock. ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Change in platelet count from baseline to 72 hours post treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary end point is evaluated throughout the 72 hour treatment period and after 28 and 90 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •Severe bleeding (intracranial or clinical bleeding with the use of 3 RBC units or more) (KyperSept trial) •Any bleeding •Endothelial activation (changes in markers): sE-selectin, ICAM-1, HMGB-1, vWF, sTM, sCD40L Syndecan-1, IL-6, Protein C, sFlt-1, sVCAM-1 •Difference in day 7, 28 and 90 day mortality between patients receiving Eptifibatide and Iloprost and placebo •Changes in SOFA score from baseline to 72 h and day 5 and 7 post randomisation •Days of vasopressor, ventilator and renal replacement therapy and use of blood product (in ICU) after randomisation •Occurrence of deep venous thrombosis at compression ultrasound at day 3 and 7 after randomisation •DIC score changes from baseline to Day 1, 3 and 7 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The secondary endpoint are evaluated througout the 72 hour treatment period and after 7, 28 and 90 days
