Selepressin Evaluation Programme for Sepsis-Induced Shock - Adaptive Clinical Trial

Summary

This is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, two-part adaptive clinical trial. The trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of multiple dosing regimens of selepressin and to confirm the efficacy and safety of one dosing regimen in treatment of adult patients with septic shock requiring vasopressor.

registry analysis (superiority test); Placebo vs Selepressin Pooled; p = 0.3015; Treatment difference 0.55 (95% CI -1.34 to 2.43); van Elteren test NCT02508649 ↗
