Efficacy of PMZ-2010 (Centhaquine) a Resuscitative Agent for Hypovolemic Shock

Approximately 105 patients will be randomized 2:1 into 2 treatment groups after meeting the eligibility criteria. Total 70 patients will be enrolled in PMZ-2010 group (Group 1) and in Normal Saline group (Group 2) total 35 patients will be enrolled.

• Group 1: PMZ-2010 (Dose: 0.01 mg/kg) + Standard of care
• Group 2: Normal Saline (Dose: Equal volume) + Standard of care In both treatment groups, patients will be provided the standard of care. PMZ-2010 or Normal Saline will be administered intravenously after randomization to hypovolemic shock patients with systolic arterial blood pressure ≤ 90 mmHg at presentation and continue to receive standard Shock Treatment. In PMZ-2010 group, dose of PMZ-2010 (0.01 mg/kg) will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion over 1 hour in 100 mL of normal saline. Second dose of PMZ-2010 will be administered if SBP falls below or remains below or equal to 90 mmHg but not before 4 hours of previous dose and total doses per day (in 24 hours) will not exceed 3 doses. PMZ-2010 administration if needed will continue for two days post randomization. Minimum 1 dose or maximum 6 doses of PMZ-2010 will be administered within first 48 hours. post randomization. In Control group, single dose of equal volume of Normal Saline will be administered as intravenous (IV) infusion over 1 hour in 100 mL of normal saline post randomization. Condition of administration will remain same as for PMZ-2010 group. Each patient will be monitored closely throughout his/her hospitalization and will be followed until discharge from randomization. Each patient will be assessed for efficacy parameters over 28 days from randomization to a clinic visit.
