Brief Summary

The norepinephrine and vasopressin for rescue versus early vasopressin for vasopressor dependent sepsis (NoVa) is a phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing an early vasopressin initiation strategy versus norepinephrine plus vasopressin initiation only as a rescue strategy for hemodynamic management of critically ill patients with vasopressor dependent sepsis.
