DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to develop a keratin based resuscitation fluid that greatly improves outcomes for patients following treatment of hemorrhage. Inadequate fluid resuscitation technology has contributed to tens of thousands of lives lost and billions of dollars of increased healthcare costs. Studies in hemorrhagic shock show that survival is primarily determined by the maintenance of functional capillary density (FCD) and subsequent tissue oxygenation. Conventional resuscitation fluids do not possess the characteristics necessary to maintain FCD. Introduction of a biocompatible, viscous biopolymer such as keratin, however, can increase capillary transmural pressure, thereby reversing capillary collapse induced during severe hemorrhage. Moreover, the high oncotic pressure of keratins can reinforce this effect by bringing more fluid into the circulation without instigating adverse interactions within the cardiovascular system, [Preclinical] blood and tissues. The resulting increase in perfusion will improve tissue oxygenation and facilitate the removal of metabolic waste, thereby averting organ failure and death. [, unlike conventional saline which is not oncotic]. The use of human hair keratin proteins as colloids offers the potential to maintain FCD better than conventional fluids. Because of the remarkable intrinsic biocompatibility of human keratins and the flexible chemistry of the keratin family of proteins, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of these materials can be controlled and optimized. Highly effective resuscitation fluids can be formulated from keratins that are easily extracted and purified to optimize blood compatibility and hemodynamic properties. Our preliminary studies show that this technology appears to be biocompatible and does not lead to thrombotic events or tissue damage. The keratin analogs are inexpensive to obtain (keratins can be extracted from either wool or human hair, both of which sell for less than $3 per pound), can be sterilized using conventional techniques, and are incredibly robust; therefore they can be stored at ambient temperatures (up to 100oF). These factors make keratin-based resuscitation fluids promising as colloidal materials for resuscitation fluid in either civilian or military applications. The major milestone for this project is demonstration of the feasibility of using keratin as a resuscitation fluid by showing a statistically significant improvement of at least 20% in FCD, [left ventricular power (LVP), ventricular-arteriol coupling (VAC), and arterial diameter, and] a statistically significant survival rate of at least 80% in the keratin treated groups compared to groups treated with conventional resuscitation fluids. In subsequent phases of development, large animal trials will be conducted to determine the effect of optimal keratin-based fluids on delayed treatment and long-term outcomes. These data will be instrumental in developing a preclinical data package to be submitted to the FDA in support of clinical trials. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: A major cause of death among people ages 1 to 44 years is traumatic injury with concomitant hemorrhage. Unfortunately there is no ideal fluid available on the market today to address the need for resuscitation from traumatic hemorrhage and shock. KeraNetics LLC, a startup company tasked with development of technology developed at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, has a novel fluid that has been shown in pilot studies to stabilize rats after as much as a 40% blood loss. This proposal seeks to further develop this technology and lay the ground work for human clinical trials and commercialization through a focused program of preclinical research. If successful, this new keratin resuscitation fluid can be used by first responders and hospitals to save many victims of trauma-related hemorrhage and shock.

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一项开发基于角蛋白的复苏液体的建议，该液体可以极大地改善出血治疗后患者的预后。液体复苏技术不足导致数万人丧生，医疗费用增加数十亿美元。失血性休克的研究表明，存活主要取决于功能性毛细血管密度(FCD)的维持和随后的组织氧合。传统的复苏液不具备维持FCD所必需的特性。然而，引入一种生物相容的粘性生物聚合物，如角蛋白，可以增加毛细血管跨壁压力，从而逆转严重出血时引起的毛细血管塌陷。此外，角蛋白的高致瘤性压力可以将更多的液体带入循环，而不会在心血管系统、[临床前]血液和组织内引发不利的相互作用，从而加强这一效应。由此产生的灌注量的增加将改善组织的氧合，促进代谢废物的清除，从而避免器官衰竭和死亡。[，与不具致瘤性的常规生理盐水不同]。使用人发角蛋白作为胶体提供了比传统液体更好地维持FCD的潜力。由于人角蛋白具有显著的内在生物相容性和角蛋白家族的灵活化学特性，这些材料的物理、化学和生物特性可以被控制和优化。高效的复苏液可以由角蛋白配制而成，角蛋白易于提取和纯化，以优化血液相容性和血液动力学特性。我们的初步研究表明，这项技术似乎是生物兼容的，不会导致血栓事件或组织损伤。角蛋白类似物价格低廉(角蛋白可以从羊毛或人类头发中提取，每磅售价不到3美元)，可以使用传统技术进行灭菌，并且非常坚固；因此它们可以在环境温度(高达100华氏度)下储存。这些因素使得基于角蛋白的复苏液在民用和军用应用中都有望成为复苏液的胶体材料。该项目的主要里程碑是证明了使用角蛋白作为复苏液的可行性，结果显示，与常规复苏液组相比，角蛋白治疗组在FCD、左心室动力(LVP)、室-小动脉偶联(VAC)和动脉内径方面至少有20%的统计显著改善，且存活率至少达到80%。在随后的开发阶段，将进行大型动物试验，以确定最佳角蛋白液体对延迟治疗和长期结果的影响。这些数据将有助于开发提交给FDA的临床前数据包，以支持临床试验。 公共卫生相关性：1至44岁人群死亡的一个主要原因是创伤性损伤并伴随出血。不幸的是，今天的市场上没有理想的液体来满足创伤性出血和休克复苏的需要。KeraNetics LLC是一家初创公司，负责维克森林大学医学院开发的技术开发。该公司有一种新型液体，已在试点研究中显示，可以在失血多达40%后稳定老鼠。这项提议寻求进一步开发这项技术，并通过有重点的临床前研究计划为人类临床试验和商业化奠定基础。如果成功，这种新的角蛋白复苏液可以被急救人员和医院使用，以挽救许多创伤相关出血和休克的受害者。
