A Study of LJPC-501 in Patients with Catecholamine-Resistant Hypotension

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of LJPC-501 (angiotensin II) on the mean arterial pressure in adult patients with catecholamine-resistant hypotension.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ≥ 18 years of age
  • Catecholamine-resistant hypotension

  • Required to have central venous access and an arterial line present, and these are expected to remain present for at least the initial 48 hours of study
  • Required to have an indwelling urinary catheter present, and it is expected to remain present for at least the initial 48 hours of study
  • Must have received at least 25 mL/kg of crystalloid or colloid equivalent over the previous 24-hour period, and be adequately volume resuscitated in the opinion of the treating investigator
  • Must have clinical features of high-output shock by meeting one of the following criteria
    • Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) > 70% (either by oximetry catheter or by central venous blood gas) and central venous pressure (CVP) > 8 mmHg
