Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to investigate whether continuous infusion of iloprost at a dose of 1 ng/kg/min for 72-hours reduces the severity of respiratory failure in the ICU as compared to placebo.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Days alive without mechanical ventilation in the ICU at day 28;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 28

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 28- and 90-day mortality Mean daily modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in the ICU up to day 90 Days alive without vasopressor in the ICU at day 28 and day 90 Days alive without renal replacement in the ICU at day 28 and day 90 Days alive without mechanical ventilation in the ICU at day 90 Numbers of serious adverse reactions within the first 7 days Numbers of serious adverse events within the first 7 days ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day 7, day 28 and day 90
