Impact of Metabolite Supplementation to Restore Mitochondrial Dysfunction During Septic Shock: a Preclinical Study
France55 participantsStarted 2020-07-09
Plain-language summary
Septic shock is defined as a subset of sepsis with severe metabolism alterations, leading to organ failure. Septic shock is associated with a high mortality, around 40% according to the SEPSIS 3 definition.
Metabolic alterations are responsible for lactic acidosis, and results in mitochondrial dysfunction.
This study aims at evaluate the impact of exogenous metabolites on restoring mitochondrial function in septic shock patients with lactate acidosis.
Mitochondrial metabolism (quantitative analysis, mitochondrial function) in intact Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) will be isolate and analyse from patients at the early phase of septic shock (admission), at day 2 and 4. Participant's medical history will be recorded: renal and liver metabolism, severity scores and outcomes and the need for supportive care in the intensive care unit (ICU) until 28 days after admission.
Furthermore, the investigators will evaluate wether selected metabolites added to the cell culture medium may improve mitochondrial metabolism.

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.
