Preclinical sepsis models often fail to predict clinical efficacy of immunomodulatory agents. Revised animal models, including modified intravenous and peritonitis approaches with supportive care, may offer better translation to human sepsis treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Sepsis research
  • Immunomodulatory agents
  • Preclinical animal models

Context:

  • Developing novel immunomodulatory agents for sepsis requires reliable preclinical testing.
  • Many promising agents fail in clinical trials despite positive results in animal models.
  • Current animal models may not accurately reflect human sepsis pathophysiology.

Purpose:

  • To identify more clinically relevant animal models for testing immunomodulatory agents in sepsis.
  • To propose modifications to existing models and suggest alternative approaches.
  • To improve the predictive value of preclinical sepsis studies.

Summary:

  • Intravenous (IV) bolus models with high bacterial/endotoxin doses induce rapid, transient responses unlike human sepsis.
  • Modified IV models with reduced doses or prolonged infusion times are suggested.

  • Peritonitis models, such as cecal ligation and puncture, are proposed as more relevant alternatives.
  • Supportive care, including fluid resuscitation and antibiotics, is crucial in these revised models.

    • Impact:

    • More accurate preclinical models can reduce the failure rate of sepsis therapeutics in clinical trials.
    • Improved translation from animal studies to human treatment outcomes.
    • Facilitates the development of effective immunomodulatory therapies for sepsis patients.
