Brief Summary:
The GRACE-2 study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial of the drug GM-CSF vs placebo in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) who have immunoparalysis with mild to moderate inflammation.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pediatric Sepsis-induced Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome Drug: GM-CSF Other: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
The GRACE-2 study is a is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial of the drug GM-CSF vs placebo in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) who have immunoparalysis with mild to moderate inflammation. Eligible subjects will undergo centralized immunophenotyping on MODS Day 2. Those who are found to have immunoparalysis (a whole blood LPS-induced TNF-alpha production capacity < 200 pg/ml) with mild to moderate inflammation (serum ferritin level < 2000 ng/ml) will be randomized to receive intravenous (IV) GM-CSF at a dose of 125 mcg/m2/day x 7 days or placebo. The primary outcome variable is the cumulative 28-day Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD)-2 score. Secondary outcomes include measures of health-related quality of life and function status at 3 months from randomization.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Cumulative 28-day Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD)-2 score [ Time Frame: 28 days from randomization ]
    Cumulative Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD)-2 score through 28 days post-randomization. The range of PELOD-2 score for a given day is 0 - 33 with a higher number being worse.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 3-month health-related quality of life [ Time Frame: 3 months post-randomization ]
    Change in Pediatric Quality of Life inventory (PedsQL) score from baseline to 3 months post-randomization. The range of PedsQL scores is from 0 - 100, with higher values corresponding to better quality of life.

  2. 3-month functional status [ Time Frame: 3 months post-randomization ]
    Change in Functional Status Score from baseline to 3 months post-randomization. The range of possible FSS score for a given subject is 6 - 30 with a higher score indicating worse function.
