Brief Summary:
The TRIPS study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, adaptively randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the drug anakinra for reversal of moderate to severe hyperinflammation in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pediatric Sepsis-induced Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) Drug: Anakinra Drug: Placebo Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
The TRIPS study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, adaptively randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the drug anakinra for reversal of moderate to severe hyperinflammation in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Eligible subjects will undergo centralized immunophenotyping on day 2 of MODS. Subjects without immunoparalysis (a whole blood ex vivo LPS-induced TNF-alpha production capacity < 200 pg/ml) and a serum ferritin level of 500 - 2,000 ng/ml or a serum C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 4 mg/dl will be eligible for randomization, along with subjects with a serum ferritin level of 2,000 - 10,000 ng/ml regardless of their TNF-alpha response. Eligible subjects will receive intravenous (IV) anakinra at a dose of 4, 8, 12, or 16 mg/kg/day or placebo for 7 days.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Cumulative 28-day Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD-2) score [ Time Frame: 28 days from randomization ]
    The cumulative Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD)-2 score over 28 days from randomization. The range of daily PELOD-2 scores is from 0 - 33, with higher scores representing worse organ function.


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

  2. 3-month functional status [ Time Frame: 3 months post-randomization ]
    The change in Functional Status Score (FSS) from baseline to 3-months post-randomization. The FSS score ranges from 6 - 30, with higher scores indicating worse functional status.
