Recruiting studies
- NCT06749756Recruiting

Madison, WisconsinAges Up to 17 years - NCT06772675Recruiting
Reducing vancomycin in NICU babies
This study asks NICUs to reduce the use of the antibiotic vancomycin. It's for hospital units that are part of certain networks and agree to follow the study plan.
Modesto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06791889Recruiting
Tracking bacteria in blood of ICU sepsis patients
This study uses a highly sensitive blood test (DdPCR) to quickly find and monitor harmful bacteria in ICU patients with sepsis, aiming to improve early detection and treatment.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT06824350Recruiting
Chlorine in water to prevent newborn infections
This trial tests whether adding a small amount of chlorine to the drinking water at public health facilities can reduce infections (including those resistant to antibiotics) in newborns. You and your baby may be eligible if you deliver at a participating facility that does not already chlorinate its water.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06887140Recruiting
Heart-lung function test in sepsis patients
This study uses an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check how well the right side of your heart is working with your lungs during sepsis. The goal is to see if this measurement can help doctors predict how patients will recover.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06898723RecruitingPhase 4
Shenfu injection to prevent heart problems in sepsis
This trial tests whether Shenfu injection can help prevent heart muscle damage in people with septic shock. If you have septic shock, you may be able to join this study to see if this treatment helps protect your heart.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06910891Recruiting
Studying microcirculation to treat sepsis early
This trial tests a special way to monitor tiny blood vessels (microcirculation) in patients with sepsis. The goal is to see if early treatment based on these readings can help improve recovery.
BrivéAges 18 years+ - NCT06928649Recruiting
Studying cell damage in critically ill ICU patients
This trial looks at specific cell damage processes (called ferroptosis and pyroptosis) in very sick ICU patients. The goal is to learn more about these processes so doctors can better treat life-threatening organ failure caused by conditions like sepsis, trauma, or severe bleeding.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT06973174Recruiting
B. cereus infections in premature newborns
This study looks at a type of bacterial infection (Bacillus cereus) that can affect the blood or brain lining in premature babies. It helps doctors learn more about these infections so they can improve care.
Nice, Alpes MaritimesAges Up to 5 months - NCT07063095RecruitingPhase 3
Testing two antibiotics combined for serious bacterial infections
This study tests whether combining two antibiotics (ceftazidime and fosfomycin) works better than ceftazidime alone for hospitalized adults with serious bacterial infections. If you have a severe infection thought to be caused by Gram-negative bacteria, this trial may offer a new treatment option.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07067866RecruitingPhase 3
Best way to stop vasopressin in sepsis patients
This trial compares two ways to safely stop the vasopressin medication in people with sepsis who are in the ICU. It aims to find the best approach to wean off this blood pressure support, which could help you recover more smoothly.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT07068022Recruiting
Organ function score for pregnant and new mothers in ICU
This study is testing a new way to measure how well your organs are working if you are pregnant or have recently given birth and need care in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to improve monitoring and treatment for mothers in critical care.
Avellaneda, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07109856Recruiting
A new tool to predict infection in newborns
This study tests a simple non-invasive score that uses blood flow in muscles to predict if a newborn has or will develop high inflammation levels (C-reactive protein). It may help doctors start treatment earlier in babies with breathing problems.
Graz, StyriaAges birth–6 hours - NCT07134751Recruiting
Febrile Infants Swedish Study
This study looks at babies 60 days or younger who have a fever of 100.4°F or higher. It aims to better understand and manage fevers in young infants.
GothenburgAges Up to 2 months - NCT07179276Recruiting
Testing CO₂ gap to guide septic shock treatment
This trial checks if measuring the carbon dioxide gap (a sign of how well blood is flowing to organs) can help doctors improve treatment for people in septic shock. Septic shock is a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure and organ damage.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07211620Recruiting
Using procalcitonin blood tests to guide antibiotic decisions in the ICU
This study compares two ways of using a blood test called procalcitonin to decide when to start antibiotics in critically ill patients with a new infection. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while still effectively treating infections.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT07225257Recruiting
Recovering Physical Function After ICU Stay in Older Adults
This study looks at how to help older adults regain physical strength after a serious illness that required time in the ICU. It aims to find the best ways to help you recover daily activities like walking and moving around.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT07232342Recruiting
Blood test for predicting sepsis outcomes after abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a simple blood test (the capillary leak index) can help doctors better predict how sepsis will progress in people recovering from abdominal surgery. If you are in the ICU after surgery for an abdominal infection, this study may help guide your care.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07286643Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided sepsis care for patients with cirrhosis
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound of the heart can guide treatment for sepsis-related low blood pressure in patients with cirrhosis. It aims to improve care and outcomes for critically ill patients.
ChandigarhAges 18–65 - NCT07287332Recruiting
BLOOM: Testing cefepime dosing in the ICU

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sepsis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 268 recruiting sepsis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a sepsis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a sepsis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
