Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effect of curcumin piperine supplementation in patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU): a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial
Design
This study is a randomized double-blind clinical trial on 50 patients. Randomization is performed by Excel software
Settings and conduct
This double-blind study was performed on patients with sepsis in the ICU of Alzahra Hospital in Isfahan. The intervention group received curcumin supplement for 1 week and the control group received malto dextrin supplement for 1 week. In this study, blindness is performed on researchers and patients who participated in the project.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Participants: 50 patients aged 20 to 60 years with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) Inclusion criteria: age 20-60 years, gastrointestinal tract with normal function and diagnosis of sepsis Non-entry conditions: Impossibility of intestinal feeding in the first 48 hours of admission, Patients who are expected to die within 12 hours of admission to the intensive care unit. Patients with BMI <18.5 kg / m2 admitted to the intensive care unit.
Intervention groups
Group 1) Patients who receive 2 placebo capsules for 7 days, each capsule containing 500 mg of maltodextrin per day (total 1000 mg of maltodextrin) (25 patients) Group 2) Patients receiving two 500 mg capsules of curcumin-piperine per day for 7 days (total 1000 mg of curcumin per day and 10 mg of piperine per day) (25 patients)
Main outcome variables
Inflammation and infection in patients with sepsis in the ICU

General information

Reason for update
Due to the prevalence of COVID-19 and the allocation of intensive care units (ICUs) to these patients, the duration of the intervention changes from 14 days to 7 days.

Purpose
Basic scienece
Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Age 20-60 years Gastrointestinal tract with normal function and intestinal nutrition criteria Diagnosis of sepsis is based on blood culture and the approval of an ICU, anesthesiologist and infectious disease specialist
Exclusion criteria:
Impossibility of intestinal feeding in the first 48 hours of admission Any history of underlying heart disease Patients who are hospitalized in the intensive care unit for less than 48 hours Patients who are expected to die within 12 hours of admission to the intensive care unit. Patients who do not have an indication for intestinal nutrition on the first day and are confirmed and predicted based on the diagnosis of the intensive care unit that they will not be able to receive intestinal nutrition in the future. (Nausea, persistent vomiting, ileus, intestinal obstruction, uncontrolled diarrhea (> 500 ml per day), high-output fistula (> 500 ml per day), intestinal inaccessibility, incomplete resuscitation and hemodynamic Patients with BMI <18.5 kg / m2 admitted to the intensive care unit. Patients who receive nutritional support through complete intravenous feeding Patients with a history of underlying disease such as diabetes, congenital and immune disorders, renal and hepatic insufficiency, and pancreatitis. Taking anticoagulants such as heparin, warfarin, aspirin, etc. Pregnancy and lactation Severe septic shock or sepsis Dissatisfaction of the patient or her legal guardian

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization will be conducted using the block randomization method (permuted blocked randomization). depending on the sample size, each block includes 4 characters and will be used AABB combination. In the following, all possible modes from the combination will be listed and a code will be allocated to each patient. This will be done using a random number table.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
To blind both patients and investigators, in the beginning, cans containing curcumin supplement and placebo were coded as A and B by a person other than the researcher to ensure the researcher and participants were not informed about the types of supplement received by participants
