Study Summary

This is a phase 3 study designed to evaluate whether the administration of ganciclovir increases ventilator-free days in immunocompetent patients with sepsis associated acute respiratory failure. Our hypothesis is that IV ganciclovir administered early in critical illness will effectively suppress CMV reactivation in CMV seropositive adults with sepsis-associated acute respiratory failure thereby leading to improved clinical outcomes

Primary Outcome

To evaluate whether administration of ganciclovir increases respiratory-support-free days in immunocompetent patients with sepsis-associated acute respiratory failure. The outcome is the number of days the participant is not on respiratory support in the first 28 study days. This outcome uses the last-off approach to calculate the number of respiratory support days. The number of support days after calculated from the last day the participant was on respiratory support.

Interventions

  • DRUG Normal saline
  • DRUG IV Ganciclovir
