Targeted Reversal of Inflammation in Pediatric Sepsis-induced MODS

Study on reducing inflammation in children with sepsis-related organ issues.

Recruiting
1-17 years
All
Phase 2/3

The TRIPS study is testing a drug called anakinra in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Sepsis is a severe infection that can cause organs like the heart, lungs, and kidneys to stop working properly. The study wants to see if anakinra can help reduce hyperinflammation (when the body’s immune system is overactive) in these children. The trial is double-blind (neither doctors nor patients know who gets the real drug or a placebo) and randomized (participants are chosen by chance).

Children aged between 40 weeks (after birth) to under 18 years who are in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) or Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) and have at least two new organ problems due to infection can join. They will receive anakinra or placebo for seven days. Some children won’t qualify, like those who weigh less than 3kg or have certain medical conditions.

  • The study lasts for 7 days.
  • Participants will be randomly given either anakinra or a placebo.
  • Close monitoring for safety and effectiveness is ensured.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
