Efficacy and Safety of Angiotensin II Injection Versus Placebo in Patients With Refractory Distributed Shock

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Angiotensin II Injection in the Background Treatment of Catecholamines and Other Vasopressors in Chinese Adult Patients With Refractory Distributive Shock

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on the treatment of refractory distributed shock with angiotensin II injection, with a random ratio of 1:1. Assuming a success rate of 25% for the main therapeutic endpoint in the control group and 50% for the experimental group, a total of 214 subjects will be enrolled, including 107 in the experimental group and 107 in the control group.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Quadruple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Angiotensin Ⅱ Injection
Angiotensin II injection is administered via central vein, and the drug dosage is adjusted according to Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), with an allowable dose of 1.25~160 ng/kg/min. Maximum 168 h.
1、Angiotensin II injection is a naturally occurring octapeptide hormone in the human renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS). It is the main effector molecule of the RAAS system and one of the strongest known vasoconstrictors, involved in neurohumoral regulation.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
The placebo is administered via central vein, and the drug dosage is adjusted according to MAP, with an allowable dose of 1.25~160 ng/kg/min. Maximum 168 h.
0.9% sodium chloride injection, not containing active ingredients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of subjects with blood pressure response at 3 hours after administration of study drug
Time Frame: 3 hours after dose
Defined as MAP ≥ 75 mmHg or MAP increase ≥ 10 mmHg from baseline compared to baseline without an increase in the dose of background vasoactive agents
3 hours after dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) total score
Time Frame: 48 hours after dose
Change from baseline in Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) total score. The SOFA score evaluates organ failure according to the conditions of respiratory, blood, liver, cardiovascular, central nervous, kidney and other systems, is scored from 0 to 4, with a higher score representing more severe failure.
48 hours after dose
Cardiovascular SOFA subscore
Time Frame: 48 hours after dose
Change from baseline in Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) subscore. The SOFA score evaluates organ failure according to the conditions of respiratory, blood, liver, cardiovascular, central nervous, kidney and other systems, is scored from 0 to 4, with a higher score representing more severe failure.

Time Frame: 1 hour after dose
Defined as MAP ≥ 75 mmHg or MAP increase ≥ 10 mmHg from baseline compared to baseline without an increase in the dose of background vasoactive agents
1 hour after dose
Proportion of subjects with blood pressure response at 2 hours after administration
Time Frame: 2 hours after dose
Defined as MAP ≥ 75 mmHg or MAP increase ≥ 10 mmHg from baseline compared to baseline without an increase in the dose of background vasoactive agents
