Evaluation of a novel therapy approach for severe sepsis patients. Subjects randomized into the treatment arm receive treatment with an immune cell perfusion system on top of standard care.
This may contribute to the improvement of the impaired organ function of septic shock patients by assisting the impaired immune system (immune competence enhancement = ARTICE)

Inclusion Criteria:
Adult subjects
Fulfillment of the definition of septic shock, not longer than 48h before randomization. I.e. the 48h start at the end of the 6h period.
Blood lactate >2 mmol/L despite adequate volume resuscitation during the current sepsis episode
Source control achieved / in progress in the judgement of the investigator
Subjects are required to have central venous access and an arterial line, and these are expected to remain present for at least the initial 48 hours of study.
Subjects must have received adequate volume replacement in the judgement of the investigator.
Subject or legal surrogate is willing and able to provide written informed consent and comply with all protocol requirements or confirmation of the urgency of participation in the clinical trial and the possible benefit to the subject by an independent consultant or the implementation of other established procedures according to the local regulations of the contributing centre to include subjects who are unable to provide informed consent.

Their plasma concentration will be compared by each day inbetween groups. | From re-evaluation on Day 2 until Day 28 |
| Time to complete organ failure resolution | The Time to complete organ failure resolution of the 6 organs of the SOFA system (measured as the time from a Baseline value>1 until the score/subscore is 0) through Day 14 and Day 21 will be measured and the time to resolution for all failed organs as a Kaplan Meier Model. | From re-evaluation on Day 2 until Day 28 with special focus on D14 an D21 |
| ICU length of stay Measured / Confirmed on day 28 retrospectively. Units: Days | ICU length of stay (through Day 28) will be measured as days [n] in the ICU and compared in between the groups | Until Day 28 |
| Number of hospital-free days. Measured / Confirmed on day 28 retrospectively. Units: Days | Hospital length of stay and number of hospital-free days (through Day 28), measured by number of days [n] will be compared between groups Units: Days | Until Day 28 |
| Number of ICU-free days Measured / Confirmed on day 28 retrospectively. Units: Days | ICU length of stay and number of ICU-free days (through Day 28), measured by number of days [n] will be compared between groups Units: Days | Until day 28 |

| Quality of life assessment | Quality of life assessed at baseline, Day 28 and Day 90 using EQ-5D-5L Score [n] and compared between the groups. EQ-5D-5L' is not an abbreviation, it can be described as "EuroQuol - 5 Dimensions - 5 Levels". It considers five dimensions including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression at 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The answers result in a 1-digit number for each dimension. The digits (1= no problem to 5=extreme problems) can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state. 11111 indicates no problems on any of the five dimensions. The EQ VAS visual analogue scale records the patient's self-rated health. The endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' (=100) and 'The worst health you can imagine' (=0). | Until day 90 |
| Occurrence of cognitive decline | Occurrence of cognitive decline at Day 90 compared with baseline and between groups (measured by IQCODE (Questionnaire on cognitive decline in the elderly); [n]) will be compared between groups. The IQCODE is scored by averaging the ratings across 26 everyday situations. A person without cognitive decline will have an average score of 3, while scores above 3 indicate that some decline has occurred | Until day 90 |
| Time course of key biomarkers of neuroaxonal injury | Time course of key biomarkers of neuroaxonal injury (pg/ml) will be measured in the blood of study patients at predefined time points to assess changes in biomarker levels longitudinally over the course of the disease by comparing them in between groups daily. | Until day 28 |
| Inflammatory mRNA profiling analysis | In patients, giving extra informed consent, inflammatory mRNA profiling measured by mRNA occurrence will be analyzed at Day 2 and Day 10 and compared in between Groups. | until day 10 |
