Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the PMX cartridge ( Toramyxin) (in Addition to Standard Medical Care for Patients with Endotoxemic Septic Shock:
Eligible and consented subjects will be randomized to receive either the PMX cartridge (administered twice for 1½ to 2 hours per treatment session approximately 24 hours apart) plus standard medical care or standard medical care alone. For all subjects in whom treatment has been initiated, a follow-up visit (if they are still in the hospital) or a telephone call will be completed at Day 28 (or later) to determine their mortality status. In surviving subjects, a follow-up visit or telephone call to determine their mortality status will also take place at approximately three months (i.e. Day 90) and 12 months after the subject was randomized.

Summary

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract. infection (LRTI) among infants and young children, resulting in annual epidemics worldwide. Despite more than 50 years of attempted vaccine development, there are no licensed vaccines. While RSV prevention exists in the form of a specific RSV IgG (palivizumab) requiring 5 once monthly injections, it is licensed only for infants who experience the greatest morbidity and mortality from RSV: preterm infants born ≤ 35 weeks GA, children with chronic lung disease of prematurity, children with hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease. EDP-938 is a novel, orally administered, non-fusion replication inhibitor of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that is being developed as a potential treatment for RSV infection.
