Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: 1. Paediatric patients > 2 years (ie, > 24 months) to 0.1 µg/kg/min to maintain ageappropriate target MAP for a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 48 hours prior to initiation of study drug. 3. Patients must have a clinical diagnosis of distributive shock in the opinion of the treating team and the Investigator. 4. Patients are required to have central venous access, which is expected to remain present for the duration of study drug treatment. 5. Patients are required to have an indwelling arterial line, which is expected to remain present for at least the first 48 hours of study drug treatment. 6. Patients must have received at least 40 mL/kg of crystalloid or colloid equivalent over the initial 24-hour resuscitation period, and must be adequately volume resuscitated in the opinion of the Investigator, prior to starting study drug. 7. Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) is willing and able to provide informed consent and assist the patient in complying with all protocol requirements. Are the trial subjects under 18? yes Number of subjects for this age range: 100 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To evaluate the effect of LJPC-501 infusion on mean arterial pressure (MAP) as assessed by standard of care vasopressor dose reduction in paediatric patients with catecholamine-resistant hypotension (CRH); Secondary Objective: • To evaluate change in the Paediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) score • To establish the safety and tolerability of LJPC-501 in paediatric patients with CRH • To evaluate changes in catecholamine and other vasopressor doses over time • To evaluate the change in MAP over time ;Primary end point(s): • Proportion of patients who have achieved = 50% reduction in vasopressor dose as measured by NED from baseline to Hour 3;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • 3h post baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Change in PELOD-2 score from baseline to Hour 24 and Hour 48 • Change in catecholamine and other vasopressor doses from baseline to Hour 24 and Hour 48 • Change in MAP from baseline to Hour 3, Hour 24, and Hour 48 • Change in heart rate from baseline to Hour 3, Hour 24, and Hour 48 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3h, 24h and 48h post baseline
