Vasculopathic Injury and Plasma as Endothelial Rescue in Septic Shock Trial. VIPER-Sepsis (EudraCT no. 2016-000707-81)

"OctaplasLG is an donor plasma product pooled from approximately 1000 single donor units. It possesses unique features when compared to standard fresh frozen plasma, such as having standardized concentrations of natural pro- and anti-coagulation factors, a standardized volume as well as being pathogen free. The manufacturing method of OctaplasLG removes immune complexes and cells in several steps of microfiltration in addition to viral, bacterial and prion pathogen inactivation by immune neutralization. OctaplasLG should reduce the inflammatory hit on the endothelium, including the glycocalyx, by having standardized levels of coagulation proteins, which can give more sustainable support to the endothelial regeneration as compared to standard fresh frozen plasma."

Crystalloid used as standard of care.
