Ongoing Research Projects:

  • Endotoxin Activity Assay Results and Kidney Outcomes in Intensive Care Unit
    PI: Sobia Khan
    IRB# 2020-00592
    We would like to investigate the relationship between Endotoxin Activity Assay (EAA) results and health outcomes of diverse cohort of patients admitted to the intensive care unit in Stony Brook University Hospital in 2020.  This is a prospective study in which the EAA results will be analyzed over time.

TIGRIS Trial: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PMX Cartridge in Addition to Standard Medical Care for Patients with Endotoxemic Septic Shock
PI: Sobia Khan
IRB# 2020-00475

Primary Objectives:
The primary objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of the PMX cartridge (Toraymyxin) based on mortality at 28 days in patients with septic shock and endotoxemia who are treated with standard medical care plus the use of the PMX cartridge, versus patients who receive standard medical care alone.

Secondary Objectives:
1. To compare changes in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) from Day 0 to Day 3 in each group.
2. To compare changes in vasopressor doses from Day 0 to Day 3 in each group.
3. To compare the survival time from baseline to death within 28 days in each group.
4. To compare mortality at 28 days post baseline for patients with baseline norepinephrine dose, >0.1 mcg/kg/min in each group.
5. To compare mortality at 14 days post baseline in each group.
6. To compare total duration of vasopressor, use from Day 0 to Day 3 in each group.

Completed Research Studies:

  • Prevalence of Endotoxemia in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19
    PI: Sobia Khan
    IRB# 2020-00474
    This was a retrospective study to investigate whether the Endotoxin Activity Assay level prognosticates acute kidney injury. We also investigated if the prevalence of increased endotoxemia coincided with increased hospital stay.
