The Effects of Acetylsalicylic Acid on Immunoparalysis Following Human

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Rationale:

The last years, research focus has moved to immunostimulatory agents in order to restore or increase the functionality of the immune system during sepsis-induced immunoparalysis. Epidemiologic data show that prehospital use of low dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is associated with improved outcome of sepsis. Experimental data indicate that ASA exerts pro-inflammatory effects during systemic inflammation. However, it remains to be determined whether treatment with ASA improves immune function once immunoparalysis has developed and whether prehospital use of low dose ASA prevents the development of immunoparalysis. In the former case, ASA is a potential immunostimulatory therapy that can treat sepsis-induced immunoparalysis. In the latter case, ASA may have a broader indication as an immunomodulating agent. Taken together, ASA might be a promising, cheap, well-known, and globally available agent to reduce the incidence of secondary infections and improve patient outcome in sepsis.

Objective:

- To determine whether acetylsalicylic acid treatment can reverse endotoxin tolerance, which is expressed as a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels between the first and second endotoxin challenge.

- To determine whether acetylsalicylic acid prophylaxis can prevent endotoxin tolerance, which is expressed as a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels between the first and second endotoxin challenge.

Study design:

Double-blind randomized placebo-controlled pilot study in 30 healthy male volunteers during repeated experimental endotoxemia. All subjects will receive a 14 day course of study medication (low-dose ASA or placebo) and undergo experimental endotoxemia (lipopolysacharide (LPS), E.Coli type O113) on day 7 and on day 14. LPS is administrated using an initial bolus of 1ng/kg followed by continuous infusion at 1ng/kg/hr during 3 hours.

Subjects are randomized in three study arms:

1. Treatment group: 7 days placebo / first endotoxemia / 7 days ASA 80 mg (loading dose on first day of 160mg) / second endotoxemia

2. Prophylaxis group: 7 days ASA 80 mg (loading dose on first day of 160mg) / first endotoxemia / 7 days ASA 80 mg / second endotoxemia

3. Placebo group: 7 days placebo / first endotoxemia / 7 days placebo / second endotoxemia

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
