Immunomodulatory Properties of Ketamine in Sepsis
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Ketamine and Normal Saline placebo for Sepsis. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of short-term infusion of ketamine at analgesic dosage on the immune response, morbidity and mortality among patients suffering from septic shock. We hypothesize that ketamine will modulate the cytokine response to sepsis and reduce morbidity and mortality.
