Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Provide written informed consent (proxy/legal representative/independent physician/emergency consent) according to local regulations 2. Age 18* to 80 years * 16 to 80 years in the Netherlands Sepsis 3. Documented or suspected infection: lung, abdominal or elderly UTI (*65 years) 4. Organ dysfunction defined as acute change in SOFA score * 2 points Shock 5. Refractory hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain MAP *65mm Hg despite adequate volume resuscitation of at least 20 ml/kg within 6 hours (according to Surviving Sepsis guidelines, see Appendix 1) 6. Hyperlactatemia (blood lactate >2 mmol/l or 18 mg/dl). This criterion must be met at least once for the purpose of diagnosis within the 24 hours before study drug administration

Moribund patients 16. Decision to limit full care taken before obtaining informed consent 17. Participation in another interventional study in the 3 months prior to randomisation
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Safety and tolerability parameters: 1. Vital signs: systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature (tympanic) 2. ECG (12-lead ECG) 3. Safety laboratory tests: haematology, coagulation, plasma biochemistry 4. Presence of anti-LR12 antibodies 5. Adverse events : from screening until study completion | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pharmacokinetics: Plasma concentrations of LR12 will be measured by a validated LCMS/MS assay and analysed using non-compartmental methods to obtain estimates of the PK parameters. Pharmacodynamics (exploratory) The concentration profiles of biomarkers (sTREM-1, immune and vascular related biomarkers) over time and biomarker mRNA levels will be analysed. Clinical parameters (exploratory) 1. Resolution of organ dysfunction (SOFA score total and individual domains) 2. Vasopressor use 3. Invasive mechanical ventilation 4. Renal support 5. Time until shock reversal defined as cessation of vasopressor support for 24 hours 6. Mortality at day 28 and Day 90 | — |
