We’re tracking 7 recruiting sepsis studies with a site in Minnesota — including Phase 2 and Phase 2/Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT05758246RecruitingPhase 2
Fisetin to slow worsening of sepsis in older hospital patients
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a drug called fisetin can slow the progression of sepsis once you are admitted to the hospital. It may help patients recover more quickly or avoid worsening, but eligibility depends on how severe the illness is and what other treatments you need.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 65 years+ - NCT05267821RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing anakinra to reduce inflammation in pediatric sepsis MODS
This study tests whether a medicine called anakinra can “turn down” harmful inflammation in children with severe illness from sepsis. It aims to improve organ function when multiple organs are starting to fail.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 1 day–17 years - NCT06319248RecruitingPhase 2
Midodrine to treat sepsis and reduce IV vasopressors
This trial tests if the oral medication midodrine can help wean patients with sepsis off IV vasopressors faster, potentially reducing ICU stays and complications.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06817408Recruiting
Organ Damage and Immune Exhaustion in Sepsis
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) affects organs and the immune system over time. It may help find better ways to treat people who have had a septic shock.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07154615Recruiting
Immune system study in sepsis patients
This study looks at how the immune system changes in people with sepsis (a severe response to infection that can cause organ failure). It aims to understand immune dysfunction to help improve treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07362862Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation to prevent ICU weakness
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT07287332Recruiting
BLOOM: Testing cefepime dosing in the ICU
This trial tests a way to give the antibiotic cefepime to ICU patients. It aims to see if the dosing can be adjusted more precisely for each person.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+

What taking part in a sepsis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there sepsis clinical trials in Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting sepsis studies with a site in Minnesota, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a sepsis study in Minnesota?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a sepsis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
