Add-on Reparixin in Adult Patients With ARDS

Completed · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult

In brief

Study objectives 1. To characterize the efficacy of reparixin in ameliorating lung injury and systemic inflammation and expediting clinical recovery and liberation from mechanical ventilation in adult patients with moderate to severe ARDS (PaO2/FIO2 ratio ≤ 200). 2. to assess the effect of reparixin on systemic biomarkers linked to a hyper-inflammatory ARDS phenotype. 3. To evaluate the safety of reparixin vs. placebo in patients enrolled in the study.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Signed Informed Consent, according to local guidelines and regulation.
• Male and female adults (>18 years old).
• Mechanically ventilated (invasive) patients with PaO2/FIO2 ratio ≤200 in the presence of PEEP of ≥5 cmH20.
• Respiratory failure not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload (if acute Congestive Heart Failure exacerbation is identified as part of the clinical picture this should be addressed effectively and as soon as possible before the patient can be enrolled).
• Bilateral radiologic opacities consistent with pulmonary edema on the frontal chest x-ray (CXR), or bilateral ground glass opacities on a chest computerized tomography (CT) scan.
• ≤48 hours from fulfilling above ARDS criteria (if a patient is transferred from a non-participating hospital to a participating site a 12-hour period beyond the 48 hours is allowed)
• Females of child-bearing potential who are sexually active must be willing not to get pregnant within 30 days after the last Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) dose and must agree to at least one of the following reliable methods of contraception:
• Hormonal contraception, systemic, implantable, transdermal, or injectable contraceptives from at least 2 months before the screening visit until 30 days after the last IMP dose;
• A sterile sexual partner;
• Abstinence. In patients non able to personally consent to above due to complications of acute illness and/or its treatment assurances for the above must be given by LR and reiterated by patient when/if she is able to do so.
• Female participants of non-child-bearing potential or in post- menopausal status for at least 1 year will be admitted. For all female subjects with child-bearing potential, pregnancy test result must be negative before first drug intake.

You may not qualify if…

• Moderate-Severe chronic hepatic disease (as verified by a previously known Child-Pugh score ≥7). If baseline Child-Pugh score is not known it should not be calculated while the patient is acutely ill. In that case the patient is excluded on the basis of: ALT/AST ≥ 3x ULN and total bilirubin > 2x ULN or ALT/AST ≥ 5x ULN
• Severe chronic renal dysfunction: eGFR (2021 CKD-EPI) < 30 mL/min/1.73m2. If baseline (chronic) renal function is not known the patient is only excluded if in need of acute renal replacement therapy (currently on RRT or to be imminently placed on RRT)
• Participation in another interventional clinical trial.
• Patients that are clinically determined to have a high likelihood of death within the next 24 hours based on PI's estimation.
• Currently receiving ECMO or high frequency oscillatory ventilation.
• Anticipated extubation within 24 hours of screening. (In such cases re-screening is allowed if the patient is within the enrollment window).
• Evidence of GI dysmotility as demonstrated by presence of all the following: persistent gastric distention and enteral feeding intolerability and persistent gastric residuals >500 ml).
• Anticipated transfer to a hospital not participating in the trial within 72 hours of screening.
• Decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment (patients may still be eligible however if they are committed to full support except cardiopulmonary resuscitation if cardiac arrest occurs).
• History of:
• Documented allergy/hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, ibuprofen and other COX-1 and 2 inhibitors, and to the study product and/or its excipients.
• Lactase deficiency, galactosemia or glucose-galactose malabsorption.
• History of peptic ulcer, GI bleeding or perforation due to previous NSAID therapy.
• Active bleeding (excluding menses) from uncontrolled site that cannot be definitively resolved prior to enrollment.
• Pregnant or lactating women.
• Women of childbearing potential and fertile men who do not agree to use at least one primary form of contraception during the study and up to 30 days after the last IMP dose. For patients non able to personally consent to above due to complications of acute illness and/or its treatment assurances for the above must be given by LR and reiterated by patient when/if he/she is able to do so.
