E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Protein intake during the 5-day treatment period:
• Proportion of patients reaching ≥70% of the cumulative target for protein delivery from Study Day 2 through Study Day 6
- The cumulative target for protein delivery is 6.75 g/kg/5d (based on a daily target of 0.75 g/kg on Study Day 2 and 1.5 g/kg/d on Study Days 3 through 6); 70% of the cumulative target for protein delivery = 4.73 g/kg/5d
- The cumulative protein delivery is calculated as the cumulative intake of amino acids from study drug and protein from EN on Study Day 2 through 6
• Percentage of the cumulative target for protein delivery reached from Study Day 2 through Study Day 6
- Actual cumulative protein delivery (g/kg/5d) divided by 6.75 (g/kg/5d) multiplied by 100
• Mean cumulative protein delivery by PN and EN from Study Day 2 through Study Day 6
• Calculated mean cumulative protein deficit during the period from Study Day 2 through Study Day 6
- The cumulative protein deficit is calculated as the cumulative target for protein delivery (6.75 g/kg/5d) minus the actual administered dose (g/kg/5d amino acids from study drug + g/kg/5d protein from EN)
Energy intake during the 5-day treatment period:
• Mean total cumulative energy intake from PN during the 5-day treatment period (calculated for each day from Study Day 2 through Study Day 6)
• Mean total cumulative energy intake from EN during the 5-day treatment period (calculated for each day from Study Day 2 through Study Day 6)
• Time to increase of daily EN intake above 20% of total energy target of 20 kcal/kg/d during the 5-day treatment period
Insulin dose during the 5-day treatment period:
• Mean daily insulin dose during the 5-day treatment period
• Mean cumulative insulin dose for the 5-day treatment period
• Mean change from baseline in daily insulin dose (Study Day 2 through Study Day 6)
• Maximum single insulin dose during the 5-day treatment period
Blood glucose profile during the 5-day treatment period:
• Mean maximum daily blood glucose value during the 5-day treatment period
• Mean minimum daily blood glucose value during the 5-day treatment period
• Mean blood glucose value during the 5-day treatment period
• Mean change from baseline in mean daily blood glucose value (Study Day 2 through Study Day 6)
Clinical outcome parameters (up to Study Day 28):
• Change from baseline in SOFA score, calculated daily from Study Day 3 through Study Day 7
• Overall survival time up to Study Day 28
• All-cause mortality up to Study Day 28
• Length of stay in the ICU up to Study Day 28
• Re-admission to ICU up to Study Day 28
• ICU mortality up to Study Day 28
• Length of stay in the hospital up to Study Day 28
• Re-admission to hospital up to Study Day 28
• Hospital mortality up to Study Day 28
• Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS)-28 score (including individual item score, category score, and total score) on Study Day 7
Functional Outcome Parameters (up to Study Day 28):
• Duration of mechanical ventilation up to Study Day 28
• Change from baseline in Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score on Study Day 7, and either at discharge from ICU or on Study Day 28, whatever occurs first
• Change from baseline ofin Functional Independence Measure (FIM™) scoreICU Mobility Scale on Study Days 7, 14, and 28
