Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Evaluate the Safety Profile of Pioglitazone in Patients With Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock as the Number of Hypoglycemic Events

    The number of hypoglycemic events in pioglitazone vs standard care. Hypoglycemia was defined as blood glucose level that remains \<40mg/dl despite dextrose bolus treatment.

    Assessement over five days

  • Safety Labs - Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

    BUN levels in blood from subject on the final day of enrollment

    Final day of study

  • Safety Labs - Creatinine

    Creatinine levels in blood from subject on the final day of enrollment

    Final day of study

  • Safety Labs - Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

    ALT levels in blood from subject on the final day of enrollment

    Final day of study

  • Pioglitazone Area Under Curve Estimates by Treatment Group and Route of Administration

    Pioglitazone concentration as the total area under curve divided by the number of days receiving the drug in subjects who took the drug by mouth versus by naso-gastric tube

    five days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Effect of Pioglitazone Area Under the Curve on Changes in IL-6

    Evaluation of inflammatory biomarkers will be obtained prior to dosing for the first five days of the study

Study Arms (2)

Pioglitazone hydrochloride

EXPERIMENTAL

Pioglitazone hydrochloride treatment group

Drug: Pioglitazone hydrochloride

Normal standard care

NO INTERVENTION

Normal standard care control group

Interventions

Participants will receive a daily dose of pioglitazone at 0.5 mg/kg/dose for 5 days.

Also known as: Actos
Pioglitazone hydrochloride

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Weight range between 30 to less than or equal to 90kg
  • Have a known or suspected infection and meet criteria for severe sepsis or septic shock as defined according to the International Pediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference guidelines

You may not qualify if:

  • Are in a moribund state in which death is perceived as imminent
  • Have an advanced directive or do not resuscitate order to withhold life-sustaining
  • Have a history of cyanotic heart disease or congestive heart failure
  • Have a serum transaminase level (ALT) that exceeds about 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (\>112 unit/L)
  • Are or become pregnant
  • Are already on or have a history of taking pioglitazone or rosiglitazone
  • Have type 1 or 2 diabetes
  • Have total body weight below 30 kg or above 90 kg
  • Have a serious condition, in addition to sepsis, which in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the participant
