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.
Interventions

Therapeutic unfractionated heparin (UFH) starting at 400 (in children: 20 IU/kg/h) IU/kg/24h (target between 0.3 and 0.5 IU/ml), adapted to the therapeutic Partial Thromboplastin Time targeting values in the range of 60 to 100 seconds, with lower intensity dosing in the range of 60 to 80 seconds, for 7 days (or ICU discharge, pending which will occur first).
Therapeutic low weight molecular heparin (LMWH) tinzaparin, considering its contraindications, recommended dose ranges and monitoring if applicable, as follows: 175 (in children 100 U/kg) IU/kg/24h, for 7 days (or hospital discharge pending which will occur first).
Recombinant human thrombomodulin (rhTM) 0.06 mg/kg/j IV, for 7 days (or ICU discharge, pending which will occur first).
0.2 mg/kg/h for 7 days (or ICU discharge, pending which will occur first)
Usual care
up to 4 hours a day, up to four days in a row
0.5 MIU (5μg)/kg/day subcutaneously for 5 consecutive days (or up to ICU discharge pending which occurs first) - same for adults and children .
rhIFNg subcutaneously at 50 µg/m2 if body surface \>0,5 m2, or 1.5µg/kg if body surface of 0,5 m2or less, every other day for 15 days (or up to ICU discharge pending which occurs first)
50µg orally (or via the gastric tube) once a day for 7 days (or ICU discharge pending which will occur first) (same for adults and children)
100 IU/kg/24h for 6 days
12 mL/kg on day 1; repeated daily from day 2 to day 5, provided that PT/INR remains ≥ 1.40 (This intervention will be opened for randomisation once a supply circuit is in place)

Study design
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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| All-cause mortality | At day 28 | Dual primary endpoint |
| Number of days alive without persistent life-supportive therapies | At day 28 | Dual 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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Net benefit probability of intervention vs. control, assessed with a Generalized Pairwise Comparison (mortality prioritized over life-support-free days) | At day 28 | The 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. |

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-5L | At day 90 | EQ-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. |

The higher the score the hiher the quality of life. |
| Quality of life score for children assessed by FSS | At day 90 | Functional 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).
