Finger sensor guided fluids for skin health in older ICU patients
This study tests if using a finger sensor to guide fluid therapy can prevent skin failure in older ICU patients with sepsis or shock. It compares usual care to personalized fluid management.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 65 years+ - NCT01904188Recruiting
Rapid identification of infection germs and antibiotic resistance
This study tests whether a faster lab method can correctly identify the germ causing an infection and check which antibiotics may work, using samples taken in the emergency department. It may help doctors choose the right treatment sooner for people with serious suspected infection.
Lansing, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT00901602Recruiting
Study of invasive pneumococcal infections in Lebanon
This study collects laboratory samples from patients with invasive pneumococcal infections to learn about the germ and where it spreads. It may help doctors and public health teams track infection patterns and improve prevention and treatment planning.
BeirutAges 1 day+ - NCT02143986Recruiting
Testing glycosylated ferritin to evaluate inflammation
This trial looks at a blood test called “glycosylated ferritin” to help doctors better identify certain dangerous inflammatory conditions. It may help clarify whether your high iron-related marker is due to inflammation rather than other causes.
BrusselsAges Up to 85 years - NCT02469662Recruiting
Study of outcomes after Nexel total elbow replacement
This study looks at how well the Nexel total elbow replacement works over time for people who need an elbow replacement due to pain, damage, or instability. It may help the doctors understand which patients benefit most and what results to expect.
Golden, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT02545478Recruiting
Testing blood markers in people with and without infection
This study looks at blood test “markers” to tell the difference between infection and non-infectious illness. It may help doctors recognize infection earlier and avoid confusion with other conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07408544Recruiting
Faster infection test for bloodstream infections
This trial tests a rapid diagnostic method that identifies the bacteria in your blood more quickly than standard tests. If it works, doctors can pick the right antibiotic sooner.
Istanbul, BagcılarAges 18 years+ - NCT07419802Recruiting
Study of a special filter for septic shock patients
This trial tests a special blood filter called Oxiris that may help remove toxins and inflammation from the blood in patients with septic shock. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes for people who need kidney replacement therapy.
RigaAges 18 years+ - NCT07421323Recruiting
Hand cleaning study for premature babies in the NICU
This study tests if a special hand-cleaning method using chlorhexidine and alcohol can help prevent infections in premature babies (born before 37 weeks) in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to see if this cleaning approach is better than the usual method for keeping babies safe from hospital-acquired infections.
AlexandriaAges 6 hours–1 day - NCT07439848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cells for severe lung injury from sepsis
This trial tests if adding stem cells or their growth liquid to standard sepsis treatment helps adults with severe breathing problems. It may improve recovery for those whose family agrees to the study.
Jakarta Pusat, DKI JakartaAges 40 years+ - NCT07448805Recruiting
Accuracy and safety of a glucose monitor in the ICU
This trial tests a continuous glucose monitoring system (Syai Tag) in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see how well it measures blood sugar levels safely compared to standard methods.
MariborAges 18 years+ - NCT07491419Recruiting
Test to Speed Up Antibiotic Choice for Blood Infections
This trial checks if a faster test to find the best antibiotic for a bloodstream infection can improve treatment and outcomes. If you have a confirmed bloodstream infection, you may be able to join.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07507877Recruiting
Ultrasound test to predict fluid needs in sepsis
This study uses an ultrasound to measure how much the axillary vein collapses when you breathe, to help doctors decide if you need more fluids. It is for patients with sepsis who are breathing on their own and have signs of low blood flow.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07511582RecruitingPhase 2
Steroids for severe breathing problems in the ICU
This study tests whether a corticosteroid (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) can help people with severe breathing problems or serious infections who have a specific 'hyperinflammatory' pattern. If you are in the ICU on a ventilator, this trial may be an option for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07539883Recruiting
Septic Shock Treatment With Special Kidney-Filter Devices
This study looks back at how a special kidney filter called oXiris helped patients in the ICU who had septic shock (a life-threatening blood infection) and kidney failure. Researchers want to understand if this filter improved survival and recovery compared to standard treatment.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07582926Recruiting
Cortisol Levels and Outcomes in Critically Ill Infection Patients
This study examines how the body's stress hormone (cortisol) relates to survival in patients with severe blood infections in the ICU. Understanding this relationship may help doctors better predict and manage outcomes in critically ill patients.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07597122Recruiting
Blood markers study in septic shock patients
This research study measures special blood markers (microRNAs) in patients with septic shock or critical illness to understand how the body responds to severe infection. Results may help doctors better diagnose and treat sepsis in the future.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07601711Recruiting
Sulbactam-Durlobactam for Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infections
This study tracks hospitalized patients receiving a specific antibiotic combination (sulbactam-durlobactam) to treat a serious, hard-to-treat bacterial infection called CRAB. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works in real-world hospital settings.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07629154Recruiting
Safe Hospital Discharge Planning for Children
This study tests a new discharge process to help children recover safely at home after being treated in the hospital for an infection. The goal is to make sure children get the right follow-up care and support after they leave the hospital.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 5–16 - NCT07653568Recruiting
Comparing two ultrasound methods to guide fluid therapy in septic patients on ventilators
This study tests whether a neck ultrasound (carotid Doppler) or a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) is better at determining how much fluid a septic patient on a ventilator needs. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with sepsis on a breathing machine, this trial helps doctors choose the best way to give fluids that can improve blood pressure and organ function.
Islamabad, Federal AreaAges 12 years+ - NCT07616817Enrolling by invitation
Expert Panel Study on Ultrasound Assessment of Septic Shock
This study gathers expert opinions from critical care doctors and specialists around the world who use bedside ultrasound (a portable imaging tool) to diagnose and categorize septic shock (a life-threatening infection condition). The goal is to develop standardized approaches to identifying different types of septic shock using ultrasound.

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.
