Objective Concentrations of group IIA secretory phospholipase A 2, an inflammatory
response mediator, are increased in the plasma of patients with sepsis and septic shock,
and the extent of elevation is correlated with mortality. LY315920Na/S-5920 is a selective
inhibitor of group IIA secretory phospholipase A 2 that has been shown to inhibit serum
group IIA secretory phospholipase A 2 enzyme activity in patients with severe sepsis. The
primary objectives of this study were to determine whether there was a dose-response …
