Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Thiamine as a Metabolic Resuscitator in Septic Shock

Brief Summary: The major goal of this project is to determine whether the use of thiamine in patients with septic shock will result in attenuation of lactic acidosis and a more rapid reversal of shock.

Sponsor: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

Current Primary Outcome: Lactate Level 24 Hours After the First Study Medication Dose [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]

Original Primary Outcome: Change in Lactate from time of study drug (or placebo) administration over 24 hours post delivery [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Number of Participants With Shock Reversal [ Time Frame: Hospital stay, average 2 weeks ]
    Shock reversal was defined as > 24 hours off all vasopressors
  • APACHE II Score at 24 Hours [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    APACHE II ("Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II") is a severity-of-disease classification system; an integer score from 0 to 71 is computed based on several measurements; higher scores correspond to more severe disease and a higher risk of death


Original Secondary Outcome:

  • Time to shock reversal [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
  • Reduction of APACHE II Score [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
