Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Sepsis remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Despite years of extensive research, effective drugs that inhibit the pro-inflammatory effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and improve outcome when added to conventional sepsis treatments are lacking. Eritoran tetrasodium (E5564) is a promising candidate therapy for sepsis belonging to a new class of such drugs which inhibit LPS-induced inflammation by blocking toll-like receptor 4. AREAS COVERED: This review focuses on the rationale for the use of eritoran tetrasodium in sepsis as well as on its pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety. Preclinical and clinical studies from a MEDLINE/PubMed literature search in August 2010 with the search terms 'eritoran' and 'E5564' are discussed. EXPERT OPINION: Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies of eritoran tetrasodium indicate it can limit excessive inflammatory mediator release associated with LPS and improve survival in sepsis models. While early clinical results are promising, its efficacy and safety for treating patients with sepsis are currently under investigation. Even if the ongoing Phase III clinical trial enrolling patients with severe sepsis and increased risk of death shows benefit from eritoran, questions remain and confirmatory studies would be necessary to define its clinical usage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
