In the light of current knowledge of the PK of levosimendan and its use in ECMO weaning, deciphering the mechanisms of inter-individual variability in exposure and response to levosimendan appears essential in order to better stratify patients eligible or not for this therapy and to adapt the treatment of patients in cardiogenic shock, with or without ECMO support, accordingly. The aim of this project is to use an innovative pharmacokinetic modelling approach based on clinico-biological data to study the key factors that could contribute to treatment failure in cardiogenic shock and to integrate them quantitatively for dose individualisation. The aim of this project is to conduct a prospective, multicentre, observational, comparative analysis, with minimal risks and constraints, to determine the concentrations of levosimendan and its metabolites during patient management in order to develop a pharmacokinetic model.
Cardiogenic shock is a pathological condition characterised by cardiac failure inducing tissue hypoxia and organ hypoperfusion, which can lead to multiple organ failure and death. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a circulatory support technique commonly used in the treatment of cardiogenic shock. This device reduces mortality in patients with refractory shock, i.e. those who do not respond, or only partially respond, to medical treatment including inotropic and vasopressor pharmacological support. ECMO is associated with significant pharmacokinetic (PK) changes related to volume of distribution (Vd) and clearance (CL), which may alter the efficacy of treatments. From a PK point of view, the addition of an extracorporeal circuit capable of sequestering and/or degrading drugs represents a challenge for dose adjustment. Levosimendan (LVSMD) is a drug authorised for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure. It's a lipophilic drug (logP=2.16) and highly protein-bound (>97%), two properties that favour its sequestration in the ECMO circuit [2]. This hypothesis is reinforced by the recent publication of a RIPH3 study evaluating the PK of levosimendan in neonates and children in intensive care, whether or not assisted by ECMO (NCT03681379, Bourgoin P, Duflot T, Clin Pharmacokinet). The rationale for this project is based on the following hypotheses: 1°) Beneficial effects on renal function, pulmonary congestion, physical capacity and cardiac output have been observed with levosimendan in the management of cardiogenic shock [4] 2°) The use of antibiotics could alter the metabolism of LVSMD leading to a defect in the synthesis of the active metabolite. 3°) LVSMD is beneficial during weaning from ECMO and the contradictions in previously published results [5] could be attributed to a reduced half-life of the drug and/or OR-1896 due to adsorption phenomena on the ECMO circuit making the treatment less effective.

| Elimination Clearance of Levosimendan (LVSMD) in Adult Patients in Cardiogenic Shock with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) | The clearance (CL) of Lévosimendan (LVSMD) will be determined by the ratio of the total dose administered to the exposure characterised by the area under the curve (AUC) over time (CL=Dose/AUC). In order to obtain an accurate estimate of the AUC, blood samples will be taken from a catheter already in place for the patient's therapeutic needs and will be taken at 0, 2, 6, 24, 26 and 32 hours after the start of an intravenous infusion of LVSMD at the dosage defined according to the recommendations in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). | At enrollment visit, hour 1, 2 and 6 and at hour 24, 26 and 32 after enrollment visit |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Success rate of weaning in the ECMO patient group | The success rate in the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) group will be assessed by the proportion of patients weaned from ECMO within 72 hours of the end of the levosimendan (LVSMD) infusion. ECMO weanability is assessed according to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) guidelines by a weaning test, initiated after myocardial recovery, defined by a reduction in amine requirements to a minimum threshold to achieve a mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 65 mmHg with an ECMO flow rate less than 2.5 L/min, usually performed for ECMO weaning. The weaning test is performed under an ECMO flow rate of 1L/min for 3 to 5 minutes, and is a success if the following parameters are obtained under low doses of amines: subaortic ITV > 12 cm/s, LVEF > 25-30%, absence of right ventricular dysfunction, central venous pressure < 10 mmHg and MAP > 60 mmHg |

| Hour 72 after enrollment visit |
| Hemodynamic success rate in the group without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) | he success rate in the group without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) will be assessed by the proportion of patients with an increase in cardiac index of at least 20% associated with venous oxygen saturation > 65% within 72 hours following the end of the levosimendan (LVSMD) infusion, and/or improvement in hemodynamics (normalization of SvO2 and cardiac index > 2.2 L/min/m2 without increase or introduction of dobutamine). | Hour 72 after enrollment visit |
| Population-based pharmacokinetic model of LVSMD and its metabolites | The population-based PK model, based on the results of the pediatric population study, will use a two-compartment model with first-order elimination for Lévosimendan (LVSMD). The appearance of metabolites will be modeled by transit compartments and their elimination will follow first-order kinetics. The collected clinical-biological data will be evaluated as covariates or as regressors (for time-dependent variables). Pharmacokinetic parameters will be evaluated according to a lognormal distribution (solutions > 0) and regressors according to a normal distribution. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated in a global structural population model and individual parameters will be determined by Bayesian estimation. The final model will then be used to perform simulations to establish the dosage allowing similar exposure between patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and patients without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during cardiogenic shock. | Hours 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 336 and 504 after enrollment visit |
| Influence of a change in intestinal microbiota on the conversion of levosimendan into its active metabolite | Given the metabolism of levosimendan to OR1896 by intestinal microbiota described in numerous studies, it seems legitimate to wonder whether inter-individual variability in response to treatment might not be linked to individual changes in intestinal microbiota. The aim is therefore to characterize the intestinal microbiota by swabbing and bioinformatic analysis, and to determine whether there are responder or non-responder profiles. | Two rectal swabs 24 hours apart, one at enrollment visit and one at hour 24 after enrollment visit |
