Cytokine Adsorption in Severe, Refractory Septic Shock
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cytokine Adsorption and Standard of Care for Septic Shock and Cytokine Storm. Completed, enrolled 48 participants.
Detailed Summary
Septic shock and the underlying dysregulated inflammatory host-response remain a major contributor to mortality in critically ill patients. Cytokine adsorption represents an attractive approach to the treatment of septic shock. Nevertheless, its effect on circulating cytokine levels, as well as on the course of disease remains largely unassessed.

Timeline
Interventions
Cytokine adsorption therapy will be provided continuously for 72 hours by means of the CytoSorb® (CytoSorbents Corporation, Monmouth Junction, USA) column, run in series to a veno-venous continuous hemodialysis system, which will be exchanged every 24 hours.
