Assessing Centhaquine for treating hypovolemic shock

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-centric, Open-labeled, Phase-IV Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of LYFAQUIN™ (Centhaquine Citrate) as a Resuscitative Agent for Hypovolemic Shock to be Used as an Adjuvant to Standard Treatment of Shock

Run by Pharmazz, Inc. · NCT05956418 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a new treatment called centhaquine can help adults with hypovolemic shock feel better and survive longer when used with standard care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with hypovolemic shock and a systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or lower upon hospital admission.

Probably not a fit

Patients with terminal illnesses unrelated to hypovolemic shock, altered consciousness, or those who have undergone CPR prior to enrollment may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of centhaquine citrate, a novel treatment for hypovolemic shock, in approximately 400 adult patients. Participants will receive centhaquine alongside standard shock treatment, including fluid resuscitation and vasopressors, while being closely monitored throughout their hospitalization. The study aims to determine if centhaquine can improve blood pressure, reduce lactate levels, and ultimately decrease mortality rates in these patients. The drug works by enhancing venous return to the heart and producing arterial dilation, which may improve cardiac output during resuscitation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve outcomes for patients suffering from hypovolemic shock.

How similar studies have gone: While centhaquine has shown promise in animal models, this study represents a novel approach in human subjects for treating hypovolemic shock.
