• 1 other identifier: KKSH-067
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 70
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

MODIfY is a prospective, single center, open label, randomized, controlled two arms, Phase II-trial to evaluate the ability of ivabradine to reduce an elevated heart rate in Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) patients. The primary end point is the proportion of patients with a reduction of heart rate by at least 10 beats per minute (bpm) within 4 days. This trial will randomize 70 patients (men and women, aged ≥ 18 years) with newly diagnosed MODS (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II-score ≥ 20, diagnosis within ≤ 24 hours), with an elevated heart rate (sinus rhythm with HR ≥ 90 bpm) and contraindications to beta-blockers (BBs). Treatment period will last 4 days. All patients will be followed for up to six months.
