Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well early metabolic resuscitation therapy works in reducing multi-organ dysfunction in patients with septic shock. Early metabolic resuscitation is made of large doses of glucose, protein, and essential metabolic molecules that may help lower the effects of septic shock on the body. Giving patients early metabolic resuscitation in combination with standard of care may work better in reducing multi-organ dysfunction syndrome in patients with septic shock compared to standard of care alone.

Primary Outcome

To assess the efficacy of administering Early Metabolic Resuscitation with Standard of Care (SC + EMR) in patients diagnosed with septic shock for reducing 28-day mortality versus using the Standard of Care alone (SC). Twenty-eight day mortality is defined during the time from the day SC+EMR or SC was first administered until a patient dies or is followed through 28 days (whichever comes first).
