  2. Objectives • Understand trial design of PROWESS • Evaluate the impact of the single protocol amendment during the trial • Evaluate the overall benefit of activated Protein C for severe sepsis • Consider the results of sub-group analyses • Safety profile during PROWESS • Some real case examples

  3. Organ failure A new understanding of sepsis pathophysiology Sepsis  Coagulation Fibrinolysis Endothelial injury  Inflammation Death

  4. Study design • Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adult patients with severe sepsis • 164 sites in 11 countries • Planned 2280 patients • Single-dose study • 24 mg/kg/hrdrotrecogin alfa (activated) infusion or placebo for 96 hours 6510.01

  5. Study design • Primary objective • Effect on 28-day all-cause mortality • Secondary objectives • Safety • Effect on organ function • Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics

  6. Study Design 28-day all-cause mortality assessed Start of study drug infusion 24 hr to meet entry criteria Routine Patient Care 24 hr from meeting entry criteria to start of drug End of 96-hour infusion of study drug W. Macias, Eli Lilly

  7. Study design • Inclusion criteria = Severe Sepsis • Known or suspected infection • Evidence of a systemic response to infection • Three or four of the criteria defining SIRS • One or more sepsis-induced organ dysfunctions • Cardiovascular • Respiratory • Renal • Hematologic • Metabolic acidosis

  8. Study design • Exclusion criteria • High risk of bleeding - similar risk assessment as for systemic heparin • Systemic heparin and anti-platelet agents (except ASA) • Platelet count <30,000/mm3 • End stage liver disease • End stage renal disease (on RRT)

  9. Study design • Exclusion criteria • HIV with CD4 count <=50/mm3 • Bone marrow, lung, liver, pancreas, or small bowel transplantation • Organ failure >24 hours in duration at time all entry criteria met

  10. Study design • Exclusion criteria • Moribund and where death is imminent • Not expected to survive 28 days due to underlying non-sepsis related condition • Patient advance directive to withhold life-support with the exception of CPR • Family not committed to aggressive management of patient • Primary physician not committed to aggressive management of patient

  11. Prowess Study: Amendment Minor Changes to Inclusion Criteria • Original protocol: Allowed respiratory organ failure (PaO2/FiO2) to be calculated by % saturation • Amended protocol: Required respiratory organ failure (PaO2/FiO2) to be calculated by blood gas • Original protocol: Allowed metabolic organ failure to be either low pH or elevated lactic acid concentration • Amended protocol: Required metabolic organ failure to be both low pH and elevated lactic acid concentration W. Macias, Eli Lilly

  12. Prowess Study: Changes to Exclusion Criteria with Amended Protocol • Original protocol: "Patients with high probability of dying from underlying non-sepsis condition within the 28-day study period were excluded." • Amended protocol: clarified the following exclusion criteria: • "Known or suspected portal hypertension" changed to include clinical manifestations – esophageal varices, chronic jaundice, cirrhosis, or chronic ascites • "Not expected to survive 28 days given preexisting medical condition" changed to "… preexisting uncorrectable medical condition." Examples were provided. Enrollment of patients with malignancy must have had prior approval by coordinating center W. Macias, Eli Lilly

  13. Prowess Study: Changes to Exclusion Criteria with Amended Protocol • The following populations were excluded: • Patients with bone marrow, lung, liver, pancreas, or small bowel transplantation • Patients who were moribund and death was imminent • Patients whose family had not committed to aggressive management of patient • Patients whose 1st organ failure >24 hours in duration at time of meeting all inclusion and exclusion criteria W. Macias, Eli Lilly

  35. Reference Diseases • Incidence in US (cases per 100,000) • Colon cancer 50 • Breast cancer 110 • AIDS 17 • Congestive heart failure ~130 • Sepsis ~300 • Number of deaths in US each year • Acute myocardial infarction 211,000 • Severe sepsis 215,000 Slide presentation, D. Angus, SCCM 2001

  36. Hospital costs associated with sepsis • Average hospital LOS - 19.6 d • Average hospital cost - $22,100 • National costs - $16.7 billion • Neonates - $1.1 billion • > 65 yrs - $8.7 billion Slide presentation, D. Angus, SCCM 2001

  37. Resolution of organ failure • Patients treated with APC had quicker resolution of: • Cardiovascular failure • Respiratory failure • Patients treated with APC had more • vasopressor-free days (20.06 versus 18.78 days, p=0.014) • ventilator-free days (14.33 versus 13.24 days, p=0.049)

  38. APC and organ failure

  40. Functional status • No difference in independent ADLs • Bathing • Dressing • Toilet care • Transferring • Continence • Feeding

  41. Hospital costs/resources • For survivors and non-survivors, use of APC did not increase: • Hospital and ICU length of stay • TISS points • Estimated costs (not including drug) Clermont et al., AJRCCM 163(5):A802

  42. Cost effectiveness/utility • $27,400/QALY (High risk)—Angus • $46,560/QALY vs. $32,872 (High risk)—Manns • CDN$67,700/QALY vs. CDN$31,500/QALY (High risk)--Coyle

  43. Autologous BMT for relapsed Hodgkins Adjuvant tamoxifen in premenopausal ER- women Dialysis for ESRD ICD vs. amiodarone Xigris vs. standard of care (high risk) $421,000 $57,000-$214,000 $40,000 $27,400-$32,900 $23,000 Health economics

  44. Conclusions • Long-term follow up? • Cost-effectiveness analysis will have to take into account: • Money saved by health care system • Benefits to quality of life (cost-utility analysis) • Comparison to other public health problems/solutions • Compare/combine with other therapies? (e.g., steroids) • Await results of randomized trial in severe sepsis patients with low severity of illness scores
