Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details 450 subjects randomized out of 921 clinically eligible subjects in 55 ICUs. First patient screened in Jun 2010, last patient screened in Jun 2016.
Pre-assignment Detail The following screened subjects were not randomized: Subject's EAA <0.06 EA units Subject met an exclusion criteria prior to randomization Informed consent for the treatment phase of the study was not signed or consent withdrawn prior to randomization. Subjects who were randomized but not treated (RNT) were not part of safety analysis.

Adverse Events

Time Frame Adverse events collected from Day 0 to Day 28. Serious adverse events (SAE, SADE, USADE) collected from Day 0 to 12 months post treatment.
Adverse Event Reporting Description Subjects who were randomized but not treated (RNT) were not part of the safety analysis. 12 out of 224 in the Treatment arm withdrew/were withdrawn prior to study treatment administration. Therefore, number of subjects at risk in this group is 212. 6 out of 226 in the Sham arm withdrew/were withdrawn prior to sham procedure. Therefore, number of subjects at risk in this group is 220.
