About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIG) in Toxic Shock Syndromes in Children: a Multicentre European Randomized Controlled Trial

IGHN2 is an international, multicenter, double blind, randomized controlled trial aimed at assessing the efficacy on organ dysfunctions of Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIG) treatment in the acute phase of streptococcal or staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome in children.

Being tested
PRIVIGEN (CSL Behring), Albumin
Medical subject headings
Staphylococcal Infections, Streptococcal Infections

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PRIVIGEN (CSL Behring)Drug

    Single administration of intravenous immunoglobulin solution Privigen® (CSL Behring AG, Bern, Switzerland) at a dose of 2g / kg. IGIV 2g/kg within 12 hours following PICU admission (or outbreak of first shock signs).

    The treatment of toxic shock will be standardized. It consists of antibiotics: Amoxicillin-clavulanate and clindamycin (or Rifampicin, Rifadine® if allergic). Antibiotics are not considered as experimental treatments for this study. All treatments essential for the treatment of acute condition will be allowed and are not considered as experimental treatments for this study.

  • AlbuminDrug

    4%(LFB) ALBUMIN Single administration of human Albumin 4% diluted albumin (VIALEBEX® LFB), within 12 hours following PICU admission (or outbreak of first shock signs). Isovolume - so dose of 0.8 g/kg (4gG, 100 ML, Sodium chloride 0.61 G / 100ML Water for injections QSP 100 ML Sodium caprylate 0.3 G / 100ML) We chose as placebo albumin diluted to 4% because this solution has the advantage of having a comparable osmolality.

    The treatment of toxic shock will be standardized. It consists of antibiotics: Amoxicillin-clavulanate and clindamycin (or Rifampicin, Rifadine® if allergic). Antibiotics are not considered as experimental treatments for this study. All treatments essential for the treatment of acute condition will be allowed and are not considered as experimental treatments for this study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. organ dysfunctions

    Average variation in Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction 2 ( PELOD-2) score compared between the IVIG treatment arm and the placebo arm.

    Measured: between day of admission and day 3

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. global mortality

    Measured: 1 year

  2. disability assessed by the Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC) score

    Measured: one year after recruitment

  3. impairment assessed by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale 2 (VABS II)

    Measured: one year after recruitment

  4. organ dysfunctions assessed by the PELOD-2 score

    Measured: over the first 5 days in Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing PRIVIGEN (CSL Behring) and Albumin in people with Staphylococcal Infection and Streptococcal Infection, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

organ dysfunctions (time frame: between day of admission and day 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 May 2021.
