About this trial
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of INM004 in pediatric patients with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome associated to infection by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC-HUS).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Disqualifiers
Start of dialysis within 48 hours prior to admission to the participating institution.
More than 24 hours from diagnosis of STEC-HUS at the participating institution up to randomization.

Treatments tested in this trial
INM004
Biological/VaccineTwo doses of Anti-Shiga Toxin Hyperimmune Equine Immunoglobulin F(ab´)2 fragments at a dosage of 4 mg/kg of body weight, 24 hours apart. Each vial contains 25 mg of protein/ml. Therefore, each subject must receive 0.16 ml/kg per dose. The vial volume will be reconstituted in a 100 ml (for subjects with a body weight of 20 kg or more) or 50 ml (for subjects under 20 kg of body weight) infusion bag. It will be administered as an intravenous infusion using an infusion pump over a period of 50 minutes. In subjects with a BMI over 30 kg/m2, infusion will be performed over a period of 100 minutes
Placebo
Other interventionTwo doses of placebo, 24 hours apart. The placebo solution has the same composition of excipients as INM004 without the active pharmaceutical ingredient, and its appearance is identical. Each subject must receive 0.16 ml/kg of placebo solution per dose. The vial volume will be reconstituted in a 100 ml (for subjects with a body weight of 20 kg or more) or 50 ml (for subjects under 20 kg of body weight) infusion bag. It will be administered as an intravenous infusion using an infusion pump over a period of 50 minutes. In subjects with a BMI over 30 kg/m2, infusion will be performed over a period of 100 minutes
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Time to recovery of renal function during the acute phase
Time (days) to achieve a glomerular filtration rate greater than or equal to the lower limit of normal (according to age, height, and sex) and a serum creatinine lower than or equal to the upper limit of normal (according to age and sex), both measured in the absence of dialysis.
Secondary outcomes
Short-term recovery of renal function
Proportion of subjects with a glomerular filtration rate ≥ lower limit of normal (according to age, height and sex) and serum creatinine ≤ upper limit of normal (according to age and sex), both measured in the absence of dialysis.
MAKE 90
Proportion of subjects meeting any of the following criteria at day 90: death, dialysis requirement after 24 hours post-randomization, dialysis of more than 10 days, or persistent decline in renal function (without recovery of glomerular filtration rate according to age, height, and sex).
Dialysis longer than 10 days
Proportion of dialyzed subjects requiring more than 10 days of dialysis
Dialysis requirement
Proportion of subjects requiring dialysis after 24 hours post-randomization
Other outcomes
CKD Risk Assessment According to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Categories
Proportion of subjects in each CKD category (low, medium, high, very high) according to GFR and albuminuria at day 90
Evolution of renal function at 7 days (GFR_AUC1-7)
Area under the curve of glomerular filtration rate from Day 1 to Day 7
Evolution of renal function at 28 days (GFR_AUC1-28)
Area under the curve of glomerular filtration rate from Day 1 to Day 28
Evolution of renal function at 90 days (GFR_AUC1-90)
Area under the curve of glomerular filtration rate from Day 1 to Day 90
