Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The TRIPS study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, adaptively randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the drug anakinra for reversal of moderate to severe hyperinflammation in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The TRIPS study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, adaptively randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the drug anakinra for reversal of moderate to severe hyperinflammation in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Eligible subjects will undergo centralized immunophenotyping on day 2 of MODS. Subjects without immunoparalysis (a whole blood ex vivo LPS-induced TNF-alpha production capacity \< 200 pg/ml) and a serum ferritin level of 500 - 2,000 ng/ml or a serum C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 4 mg/dl will be eligible for randomization, along with subjects with a serum ferritin level of 2,000 - 10,000 ng/ml regardless of their TNF-alpha response. Eligible subjects will receive intravenous (IV) anakinra at a dose of 4, 8, 12, or 16 mg/kg/day or placebo for 7 days.
