Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To estimate the effect of intravenous, polyspecific immunoglobulin G compared with placebo on the patient reported outcome measure Physical Component Summary Score (PCS) of the Short Form-36 (SF-36) in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections.;Secondary Objective: To estimate the frequency of serious adverse reactions for intravenous, polyspecific immunoglobulin G in patients with necrotizing soft tisse infections.;Primary end point(s): Physical Component Summary Score (PCS) of Short Form-36 (SF-36);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Six months after randomisation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 28, 90 and 180 days (mortality) Varying (time to resolution of shock) In the ICU (severe bleeding as clinical bleeding and use of 3 units of RBCs within 24 hours) In the ICU (any bleeding in the ICU) In the ICU (use of blood products (total volumes during the ICU admission)) Day 1-7 (SOFA scores (AUC), excluding the GCS score) In the ICU (use of RRT, ventilation and vasopressor) Day 1-90 (days alive off life support) Day 1-180 (days alive and out of hospital) Day 1-180 (need for amputation) In the ICU (SARs) ;Secondary end point(s): Mortality at 28, 90 and 180 days Time to resolution of shock Severe bleeding as clinical bleeding and use of 3 units of RBCs within 24 hours at any time in the ICU Any bleeding in the ICU Use of blood products (total volumes during the ICU admission) SOFA scores days 1-7 (AUC), excluding the GCS score Use of RRT, ventilation and vasopressor in the ICU Days alive off life support in the 90 days after randomisation Days alive and out of hospital in the 180 day follow-up period Amputation, any location, within 180 days SARs in the ICU (allergic reactions, haemolytic anaemia, aseptic meningitis syndrome, thrombi, transmittable agents and acute kidney injury as noted in the SPC for Privigen) | — |
