Sodium selenite

In the SISPCT trial of 1,089 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock, high-dose intravenous sodium selenite did not lower 28-day mortality (28.3% against 25.5% on placebo).

Summary

In the SISPCT trial of 1,089 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock, high-dose intravenous sodium selenite did not lower 28-day mortality (28.3% against 25.5% on placebo). · pmid:27428731

An earlier trial of intravenous sodium selenite in 238 patients with sepsis found 39.7% mortality against 50.0% on placebo, a difference that was not significant in the intention-to-treat analysis. · pmid:17095947

In a phase I trial in 34 patients with therapy-resistant cancers, the maximum tolerated dose of intravenous sodium selenite was 10.2 mg/m2, with fatigue, nausea and cramps the commonest adverse events. · pmid:26102212

Structure

No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for Sodium selenite yet.
