Treatment of Septic Shock by Inhibiting Autodigestion and Preserving Gut Integrity With Enteric LB1148

Septic shock is a potentially life-threatening condition that can result in multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and mortality. LB1148 was formulated to preserve gut integrity during physiological shock and ameliorate the subsequent autodigestion leading to MODS and mortality. The purpose of this study in septic shock patients is to determine if enteral administration of LB1148 will increase the number of days alive without cardiovascular, pulmonary or renal replacement therapy through Day 28.
