Trial design

Randomised, two arms: adjunctive igm-enriched immunoglobulin therapy with a personalized dose based on serum igm-titers versus standard dose therapy. investigational product: pentaglobin 50 mg/ml soluzione per infusione (immunoglobulin a, g, m). dose unit recorded as mg/kg with max daily dose 350 mg/kg and max total dose 350 mg/kg; maximum treatment period 7 days. the personalized dosing arm uses serum igm-titers to guide dose; the comparator is the flat/standard dose (details as above).-controlled, adaptive Phase III trial across 9 sites in Italy.

Randomised
Yes
Comparator
Two arms: adjunctive IgM-enriched immunoglobulin therapy with a personalized dose based on serum IgM-titers versus standard dose therapy. Investigational product: Pentaglobin 50 mg/ml soluzione per infusione (immunoglobulin A, G, M). Dose unit recorded as mg/Kg with max daily dose 350 mg/Kg and max total dose 350 mg/Kg; maximum treatment period 7 days. The personalized dosing arm uses serum IgM-titers to guide dose; the comparator is the flat/standard dose (details as above).
Adaptive
True: study described as an adaptive study design (no specific adaptive rules detailed in the provided record).
Biomarker Stratified
True: biomarker = serum IgM-titers; strata: personalized dose based on IgM-titers vs standard (flat) dose

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1. Age > 18 years;\n- 2. Septic shock occurrence < 24 hours; septic shock is identified according to Sepsis-3 definition by a vasopressor requirement to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 65 mm Hg or greater and serum lactate level greater than 2 mmol/L (>18 mg/dL) in the absence of hypovolemia in patients with sepsis2. Sepsis is defined as a life threatening organ dysfunction identified as an acute change in total SOFA score ≥2 points consequent to the infection;\n- 3. IgM-titers< 60mg/dl (or < 20% of the lower threshold value of local laboratory) within 24 hours from shock occurrence."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1. Shock of uncertain diagnosis; 2. Hypersensitivity to IgM Preparation in use or its excipients; 3. Patients receiving intravenous immunoglobulins (e.g. IgG or IgM enriched preparations) for > 6 hours before enrolment; 4. Selective absolute IgA deficiency with antibodies to IgA; 5. Pregnancy or breastfeeding or positive pregnancy test. In childbearing age women, before inclusion, a pregnancy test will be performed if not available; 6. Clinical decision to withhold life-sustaining treatment or “too sick to benefit”; 7. Neutrophil count <1.000/mm3; 8. Presence of other severe diseases impairing life expectancy (e.g. patients are not expected to survive 28 days given their pre-existing medical condition); 9. Patients with a known, chronic kidney dysfunction needing dialysis (creatinine ≥ 3.4 mg/dl or creatinine clearance ≤ 30 ml/min/1.73m2); 10. Body Mass Index (BMI) >40; 11. Participation in other clinical trials on adjunctive therapies for sepsis (during past 3 months); 12. Lack or withdrawal of informed consent."}
