Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Main objective is composed by: -Reduction of organ failure evaluated by Sepsis realted Organ failure Assessment score (SOFA scale) 72 h after administration of terlipressin / placebo. -Increase in ICU-free days of life measured 28 days after administration of terlipressin / placebo;Secondary Objective: -Increase in lactate clearance at 6, 12, 24 and 72 h after administration of terlipressin / placebo -Increase in the days with life free of mechanical ventilation measured at 28 days -Increase in vasopressor-free days of life measured at 28 days -Mortality at 28 days and 90 days -Reduction of the need for continuous renal replacement therapy -Reduction of the total equivalent dose of vasopressors -No increase in adverse effects related to the administration of vasopressors. -Association with mortality of genetic variants of the vasopressin receptor 1a and LNPEP. -Association between achievement of the combined primary objective and genetic variants of the vasopressin receptor 1a and LNPEP. -Association between the appearance of adverse effects due to the use of terlipressin and genetic variants of the vasopressin receptor 1a and LNPEP.;Primary end point(s): -Reduction of organ failure evaluated by SOFA scale -Increase in ICU-free days of life.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: -Reduction of organ failure evaluated by SOFA scale 72 hours after administration of terlipressin / placebo. -Increase in ICU-free days of life measured 28 days after administration of terlipressin / placebo.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: -Increase in lactate clearance at 6, 24 and 72 hours after administration of terlipressin / placebo. -Increase in the days of life free of mechanical ventilation measured at 28 days. -Increase in vasopressor-free days of life measured at 28 days. -Mortality at 28 days and 90 days.;Secondary end point(s): -Increase in lactate clearance. -Increase of the days with life free of mechanical ventilation. -Increase in vasopressor-free days of lif. -Mortality. -Reduction of the need for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). -Reduction of the total equivalent dose of vasopressors. -No increase in adverse effects related to the administration of vasopressors. -Association of mortality with genetic variants of the vasopressin 1a receptor and the LNPEP gene. -Association between the achievement of the combined primary endpoint and the genetic variants of the vasopressin receptor 1a and the LNPEP gene. -Association between the appearance of adverse effects due to the use of terlipressin, and the genetic variants of the Vasopressin 1a receptor and LNPEP gene.
