Trauma is often referred to as the “Silent Pandemic”, and in recent history has been the most common cause of death and chronic morbidity in children and adult men until mid-life [1]. As humans age, non-communicable diseases are predominant but trauma remains a significant cause of death. Following a traumatic event, otherwise typically healthy people abruptly enter a state of acute critical illness. Early mortality is most often due to traumatic brain injury and/or bleeding causing haemorrhagic shock. In patients who survive, the effects of trauma and bleeding and trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC)[2], can lead to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Human transcriptomics show that circulating leukocytes manifest a “genomic storm” and plasma multiomics reveal a massive release of cellular constituents into the circulation early after injury [3–5]. This release includes damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMP) molecules that initiate inflammation by interacting with pattern recognition receptors on immune and other cells [6]. The ensuing production of pro-inflammatory mediators and activation of complement and coagulation cascades, when excessive, can lead to early multiple organ dysfunction (MODS), which peaks on average about 2–3 days after the traumatic event [7]. The potential benefit of targeting the early inflammatory response to reduce MODS, and hence its downstream consequences, has been an area of intense research and debate for over 2 decades. This concept has been supported by pre-clinical research showing that targeting pro-inflammatory mediators (eg, interleukin (IL) 6 and 8) or post-receptor signaling (eg, Burton’s tyrosine kinase, 9) after haemorrhagic shock in rodents dramatically reduces early organ injury. However, based on the many failed trials targeting the immune response in sepsis, another common cause of acute SIRS leading to MODS [10], many intensivists would likely caution against relying on data from rodent models to guide trials in humans. Conversely, those working in basic trauma research frequently point to the unique characteristics of trauma, such as the precise knowledge of the time of onset and the unique nature of the non-infectious inflammatory response after trauma and shock as a reason to consider anti-inflammatory agents in trauma. Based on an article in this issue of Intensive Care Medicine [11], the debate on whether and how to target the inflammatory response following trauma is likely to substantially shift. Shepherd and co-workers report the results of the TOP-ART trial that tested the safety and effectiveness of the anti-malarial, artesunate, to reduce MODS at 48 h in severely injured trauma patients. Artesunate was reasoned to be a good agent for the trial because of its impressive safety record in patients with severe malaria, its known anti-inflammatory properties, and because artesunate significantly reduced early organ damage in a well-calibrated model of hemorrhagic shock in rats [12]. The investigators are to be applauded for the well-planned and executed trial design that included, enrollment criteria targeting a high MODS cohort (adult massive hemorrhage protocol patients), informed consent, drug administration within 4 h of injury using a parallel group two-stage dosing regimen, and frequent post-dosing sampling to confirm adequate drug levels. Importantly, serious adverse events were monitored after every 15 patients by a Drug Monitoring Committee. The trial was ended early after 90 patients had been randomized to artesunate or placebo instead of the planned 105 patients due to a higher incidence of venous thromboembolic events in the artesunate group (3 …
