A Study of LJPC-501 in Pediatric Patients With Hypotension
United States2 participantsStarted 2018-02-11
Plain-language summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of LJPC-501 infusion on mean arterial pressure (MAP) or reduction in sum norepinephrine (NE) equivalent dosing, at Hour 2 after the start of LJPC-501, in pediatric patients who remain hypotensive despite receiving fluid therapy and vasopressor therapy. In addition, this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of LJPC-501 in pediatric patients, the change in MAP over 24 hours after the start of LJPC-501, the change in serum lactate concentrations, and the change in Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) scores.

Inclusion criteria
. Pediatric patients 2-17 years of age.
. Patients requiring a total sum NE equivalent dose of \> 0.1 μg/kg/min for a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 48 hours prior to initiation of LJPC-501 dosing.
. Patients must have clinical diagnosis of distributive shock in the opinion of the treating team and the Investigator.
. Patients are required to have central venous access, which is expected to remain present for the duration of LJPC-501 treatment.
. Patients are required to have an indwelling arterial line, which is expected to remain present for at least the first 24 hours of LJPC-501 treatment.
. Patients must have received at least 40 mL/kg of crystalloid or colloid equivalent over the initial 24-hour resuscitation period, and are adequately volume resuscitated in the opinion of the Investigator.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
