Improvement of Organ Function by Apigenin in Elderly Patients With Sepsis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this single-center, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial. The effect of apigenin on the improvement of organ function will be investigated in elderly patients with sepsis. Researchers will screen patients admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Zhujiang Hospital to identify patients with sepsis based on including and excluding criteria and obtain informed consent and randomize them into groups. The treatment group will be given apigenin tablets 50mg ground with 5ml of sterilized water for intra-gastric tube injection; the control group will be given an equal volume of sterilized water for intra-gastric tube injection. The changes in SOFA score and other clinically meaningful outcomes in 4 days will be collected.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 96-hour Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
The SOFA score is the Sequential Organ Failure Score, which is used to assess a patient's prognosis by determining the degree of impairment of major organ function. The score is divided into 6 sections: respiratory, coagulation, hepatic, cardiovascular, central nervous system, and renal, and ranges from 0 to 4, with higher SOFA scores associated with a higher incidence of poor prognosis.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- inflammatory response(1) [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
the serum level of C-reactive protein(CRP)
- inflammatory response(2) [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
the serum level of interleukin-6(IL-6)
- Duration of use of vasoactive drugs [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
The duration from the vasoactive drugs administration to the successful cessation in hours( The successful cessation is defined as the attainment of a clinician-prescribed mean arterial pressure target for more than 24-hours without the use of vasoactive drugs.This outcome measure is intended only for patients receiving vasoactive drugs)
- liver function(1) [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
the serum level of Alanine transaminase(ALT)
- liver function(2) [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
the serum level of Aspartate transaminase (AST)
- liver function(3) [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
the serum level of total bilirubin(TBil)
- lung function [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2),the patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation will not collect this indicator
- kidney function(1) [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]
serum level of Creatinine (Cr)
- kidney function(2) [The outcome will be assessed at the 0,1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]

- The Duration of use of mechanical ventilation (MV) [The outcome will be assessed at the 28 day after enrollment]
The duration from the MV administration to the successful cessation in hours( The successful cessation is defined as the termination of MV for more than 48-hours. This outcome measure is intended only for patients receiving MV)
- The duration of CRRT [The outcome will be assessed at the 28 day after enrollment]
The duration of CRRT therapy in hours
- Daily urine output [The outcome will be assessed at the 1,2,3,4 day after enrollment]

Other Outcome Measures
- Incidence of adverse events [The outcome will be assessed at the 28 day after enrollment]
A adverse event refers to any adverse medical event that occur after the intervention of trial. The adverse events are not necessarily causally related to the trial treatment.
- Incidence of serious adverse events [The outcome will be assessed at the 28 day after enrollment]
Any adverse medical event occurs at any dose that meets one or more of the following criteria: 1. causes death 2.life-threatening 3. requires hospitalization or hospitalization for an extended period of time 4. causes permanent or significant disability and functional defects 5. causes deformity.
