Expression of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and Body Composition Modification in Patients With Septic Shock (Coc-SEPP1B)

February 5, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Rouen

With a prevalence of more than 15% in ICU, septic shock today represents a real public health problem and remains the leading cause of mortality in ICU. Undernutrition is characterized by an alteration of the body composition and in particular by a loss of muscle mass. In intensive care, there are indirect elements suggesting a link between loss of muscle mass and prognosis.

Muscle mass results from a balance between the pathway of proteolysis and that of protein synthesis, depending on many factors, not one of the most important are insulin. The protein PTP1B (Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B), by the dephosphorylation of its numerous substrates, constitutes an endogenous regulator of numerous intracellular signaling pathways, including that of insulin. PTP1B could play a role in the protein synthesis abnormalities observed during sepsis leading clinically to impaired body composition including muscle body mass. Therefore, we propose to study the association between PTP1B and loss of muscle mass in patients in sepsis in resuscitation.

The intestinal barrier plays an essential role in protecting against microbial luminal flora and the phenomenon of bacterial translocation. Zonulin is one of the major regulators of tight junctions, important actors in the intestinal barrier function. The increase in plasma zonulin levels, greater than 0.6 ng / mg, is directly correlated with increased intestinal permeability (16). However, elevation of plasma zonulin has never been evaluated in septic resuscitation patients. This is why we propose the evaluation of the association between plasma zonulin and the loss of muscle mass in these resuscitation patients.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
