Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Fenofibrates Versus Silymarin in Adult Patients With Sepsis

Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Fenofibrates Versus Silymarin in Adult Patients With Sepsis

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition defined by organ dysfunction resulting from the body's dysregulated response to an infection (1). It begins with widespread inflammation and cellular damage, which quickly escalates into total circulatory failure and the breakdown of essential organ systems, including the lungs, kidneys, digestive tract, and brain.

This study aims at evaluating the safety and efficacy of fenofibrate versus silymarin for adult patients with sepsis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult age ≥18 years old. Both male and female patients. Patients diagnosed with sepsis regardless of its etiology, according to the definitions of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Late septic shock at presentation with multiple organ failure. Serious gastrointestinal disease. Preexisting end-stage liver disease. Preexisting end-stage renal disease. Pregnant and breastfeeding women. History of allergy or intolerance to fenofibrate or silymarin. Patients with malignancies. Uncontrolled hemorrhage. Patients on immunosuppressant or biological therapies.
