Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with sepsis and coagulopathy, receiving treatment in an ICU.

Probably not a fit

Patients with clinically significant active bleeding will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the safety and appropriate dosage of BAY 3389934 in patients suffering from sepsis-induced coagulopathy. Sepsis occurs when an infection triggers an extreme immune response, leading to harmful blood clotting and potential organ damage. Participants will be enrolled from intensive care units and monitored for any medical issues during and after treatment with BAY 3389934. The study focuses on individuals who meet specific criteria related to sepsis and coagulopathy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with sepsis-induced coagulopathy, potentially reducing complications and mortality.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, previous studies have explored treatments for sepsis and coagulopathy, but the specific use of BAY 3389934 is untested.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Participant must be ≥ 18 and ≤ 85 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
* Participants with diagnosed sepsis according to sepsis-3 criteria. Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.
* participants with suspected or documented origin of infection.
* Participants with coagulopathy defined by at least one of the following within 24 hours prior start of study intervention: INR ≥1.40, platelet count in the range of ≥ 30,000/mm3 to \< 150,000/mm3 OR greater than 30% decrease in platelets in 24 hours without other known etiology. The platelet count after decrease should not be \< 30,000/mm3.
* Participants must be receiving treatment in an ICU.
* Informed consent of capable participant or, in case of participant being incapable of giving informed consent, consent for study inclusion will be sought according to applicable laws and regulations.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Clinically significant active bleeding; known bleeding disorder, history of major traumatic or non-traumatic bleeding (intracranial, retroperitoneal, intraocular) or clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within last 6 months.
* Low platelets level or abnormal coagulation status due to any other reason than sepsis.
* Participants with indication for therapeutic dose of: anticoagulation (heparin, argatroban, vitamin K antagonists/warfarin, dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban), oral antiplatelet agents (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, ticlopidine, prasugrel) except low dose (≤100mg) acetyl salicylic acid (ASA), digoxin, metformin
* Participants with:

  1. Uncontrolled malignancy requiring ongoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy within the past 6 months with the exception of: low-risk localized prostate cancer (Gleason score is equal to or less than 6 AND Prostate- Specific Antigen is below 10 ng/mL); or cervical carcinoma in situ; or ductal carcinoma in situ; or adequately treated non-metastatic squamous cell skin carcinoma; or adequately treated basal cell skin carcinoma. Patients with breast or prostate cancer receiving single endocrine (hormonal) therapy are eligible if all other cancer-directed treatments were completed more than 6 months prior to screening
  2. Any hematological malignancy
  3. Any active or prior malignancy involving the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord), including primary tumors or metastases.
* Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
* Chronic liver disease Child-Pugh Class C.
* Participants experienced major surgery or major trauma (intrathoracic, intra-abdominal, pelvic or femur) or surgery/trauma in any other area with potentially clinically significant consequences due to bleeding within 28 days before study drug administration.
* Participants experienced neurotrauma or neurosurgery (brain, spine) or orthopedic surgery in spine within 6 months before study drug administration
