Phase I Study of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Sepsis

May 3, 2022 updated by: Stony Brook University

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of vasoactive intestinal peptide in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

II. Evaluate the safety and pharmacodynamic activity of this peptide in these patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE:

This is a dose escalation study.

Patients receive vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) IV over either 6 or 12 hours.

Cohorts of 3 patients each receive escalating doses of VIP over either 6 or 12 hours until the maximum tolerated dose is determined.

Patients are followed for 30 days.
