Brief summary

PALETTE is a perpetual adaptive platform to efficiently study sepsis interventions within 'treatable traits' in all-ages patients enabling prompt evaluation of pandemic treatments. Treatable traits, therapeutic targets identified by phenotypes or endotypes (defined by biological mechanism or by treatment response) through validated biomarkers (measurable characteristic reflecting normal or pathogenic processes, or treatment responses), may include multi-omics, cellular, immune, metabolic, endocrine features, or intelligent algorithms. PALETTE Bayesian adaptive design enables parallel investigations of multiple interventions for sepsis, and quick inclusion of pandemic pathogens. PALETTE's new conceptual model will respond to the challenges of standard approaches, i.e. series of sepsis trials, each investigating one or two interventions, expensive, time consuming, and inappropriate in pandemic context.

Intervention model description

Randomization will concern 6 specific treatable traits (hyperinflammation, hypoinflammation, Macrophage Activation Like Syndrome, Corticoid response, hypercoagulation, Hypofibrinolysis). In each treatable trait, patients will be randomly allocated between control (usual care) and 1 to 4 experimental treatments using parallell arms.

Platform inclusion criteria will be: * All genders patients * Aged \>37 weeks corrected gestational age * Sepsis as per Sepsis-3 definition for adults, and as per the PHOENIX sepsis for children Briefly, all following criteria will be required: 1. Documented or suspected infection, 2. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score ≥2 for adults, and PHOENIX sepsis score of ≥2 for children. * Health insurance Platform

Exclusion criteria

Any of the following: * Refusal to consent for participating in the study, * Pregnancy measured by beta-HCG blood levels * Breast feeding * Acute coronary disease in the past 3 months * Stroke episode in the past 3 months * Any condition for which patient's primary physician will consider inappropriate enrolling patient in the study Treatable trait inclusion criteria : * Hyperinflammation : Subphenotypes Beta, Delta, Gamma for adults; Subphenotypes PedSep-B, C, D for children * Hypoinflammation : lymphocytes count \< 1.0 × 10\^9/L * Macrophage Activation Like Syndrome : Ferritin \>4,420 ng/mL for adults, Ferritin \>500 ng/mL for children * Corticosteroids: Positive for i-RECORDS algorithm signature * Hypercoagulation (adults) : Prothrombin time (PT)/INR ≥ 1.40 AND Platelet count \< 150 000/mm3 or greater than 30% decrease in platelets in 24 hours * Hypofibrinolysis (adults): Plasminogen deficit \< 0.5 µmol/L There are also inclusion and

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
All-cause mortalityAt day 28Dual primary endpoint
Number of days alive without persistent life-supportive therapiesAt day 28Dual primary endpoint Respiratory support: high flow oxygen, non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or CO2 removal; cardiovascular support: continuous infusion of any dose of vasopressor or inotrope, or mechanical circulatory assistance; renal support: intermittent or continuous renal replacement therapy

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Net benefit probability of intervention vs. control, assessed with a Generalized Pairwise Comparison (mortality prioritized over life-support-free days)At day 28The Generalized Pairwise Comparison (GPC) method will be used to derive a single composite outcome. Each patient in the intervention group will be compared to each patient in the control group. For each pair, a score of +1, -1, or 0 will be assigned according to prioritized outcomes: (1) all-cause mortality at day 28, and (2) number of days alive without life-supportive therapies at day 28 if both patients have the same mortality status. The net benefit will be calculated as the sum of all pairwise scores divided by the total number of pairs, corresponding to the probability that a randomly chosen patient has a better outcome in one group than in the other.

Quality of life score for adults assessed by SF-36At day 90The Short Form (36) (SF-36) Health Survey is a 36-item measure if health status. The score obtained varies between 0 and 100. The higher the score the less disability. Ware JE, Sherbourne CD. The MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36): I. Conceptual framework and item selection. Med Care 1992;30:473-83.
Quality of life score for adults assessed by EQ-5D-5LAt day 90EQ-5D-5L : It evaluates five dimensions : mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression and each dimension has five levels : no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. Answers are given on a 5-point scale by domain, the higher the score, the poorer the quality of life.
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL)At day 90Standardized tool used to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents (ages 2-18) It is a 23-item score divided in four domains : Phtsical functioning, Emotional functioning, Social functioning, School functioning The total score vary from 0 to 100. The higher the score the hiher the quality of life.
Quality of life score for children assessed by FSSAt day 90Functional Status Scale (FFS) : It examines 6 domains of functioning, and each domain receives a score of 1 (normal), 2 (mild dysfunction), 3 (moderate dysfunction), 4 (severe dysfunction), or 5 (very severe dysfunction). Final scores range from 6 to 30.
