Sepsis Clinical Trial
— StePSOfficial title:
Evaluation of Corticosteroid Therapy in Childhood Severe Sepsis (Steroids in Paediatric Sepsis, StePS) - a Randomised Pilot Study
Severe bacterial infections affecting multiple body organs, called severe sepsis (including
meningococcal sepsis), remain an important cause of death and disability among children.
Although early recognition, powerful antibiotics, and good intensive care have improved
outcome, we need new ways to further reduce the number of deaths. Research in adults has
shown that steroid replacement therapy might be useful. However, children are known to
respond differently to adults and a definitive trial in children is needed because of the
potentially harmful as well as beneficial effects of steroids.
This pilot study will provide the necessary information to allow the rational design of a
large trial conducted at multiple hospitals investigating the role of corticosteroid
replacement therapy in childhood sepsis. The study will provide information on how to
measure the effects of steroids, information on length of therapy and a better understanding
of how steroids work in children. The results emerging from this study will ultimately allow
paediatric intensive care clinicians to know whether or not steroids are safe and/or useful.
The primary objective of this open−label study is therefore to gather clinical and
laboratory data with which to inform the design of a large phase 3 double blind randomised
controlled trial (RCT). The study will provide basic limited safety data, information on
length of therapy and an assessment of possible clinical and laboratory endpoints to be used
in addition to mortality.
Definition of sepsis:
Presence of a documented infection (eg clinical evidence of pneumonia, skin or soft tissue
infection, purpura fulminans, urinary tract infection, abdominal infection) or a diagnostic
positive blood culture (community or hospital acquired) within the last 72 hours and at
least two of the following, one of which must be abnormal temperature or leucocyte count[3]
core temperature of >38.5°C or <36°C; tachycardia (mean heart rate >2 SD above normal for
age); mean respiratory rate > 2 SD above normal for age; leucocyte count elevated or
depressed for age.
Definition of severe sepsis:
Sepsis plus cardiovascular organ dysfunction (the need for at least 5mcg/kg/min dopamine or
dobutamine, or any amount of adrenaline or noradrenaline support), acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS), or 2 or more other organ dysfunctions.

Inclusion Criteria: - Severe sepsis where enrolment can occur within 20 hours of first contact with paediatric intensive care, or within 20 hours of the diagnosis of severe sepsis when this diagnosis is made on PICU. Randomisation should occur within 24 hours of first contact with paediatric intensive care, or within 24 hours of the diagnosis of severe sepsis when this diagnosis is made on PICU. - Requiring mechanical ventilation (The subjects must be mechanically ventilated for entry into the study but this is not time limited. It is routine practice at study centres to pre-emptively ventilate children with evolving sepsis) Exclusion Criteria: - Concomitant steroid therapy, vasopressor treatment >24 hrs or use of etomidate (not recommended for use in children less than 10 years and selectively inhibits 11 beta-hydroxylase) - Patients who have a recognised indication for steroids - Other immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory therapy (not including intravenous immunoglobulin which is considered standard therapy in toxic shock syndrome and may be given for this indication) - Significant immunocompromise (eg HIV infection) - Advanced malignancy - Burns - Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Children not likely to survive the time period of the maximum study intervention (5 days) - Patients who have undergone organ transplantation (including bone marrow transplantation) - Patients undergoing plasma exchange or whole blood exchange transfusion - Treatment with an investigational drug or device within the last 30 days prior to enrolment. - Patients who have experienced a prior episode of infection or sepsis during the current hospitalisation. - Patients who are pregnant (a pregnancy test will be carried out for females of 11 years and above as is standard practice for clinical trials). - Immediate families of investigators or site personnel directly affiliated with the study. Immediate family is defined as child or sibling, whether biological or legally adopted. |
