Recruiting studies
- NCT06920979Recruiting
Home monitoring to stop sepsis from getting worse
This study tests a home monitoring system for people who come to the ER or their doctor with a serious infection that could turn into sepsis. The goal is to see if watching you at home can help catch worsening signs early and prevent hospitalization.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT06989892Recruiting
Comparing two dialysis filters for sepsis patients
This trial tests whether a newer, higher-performing dialysis filter helps people with kidney failure and sepsis better than the standard filter. It focuses on patients with high levels of inflammation (measured by a marker called interleukin-6).
Dusit, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07051668Recruiting
Improving Sepsis Diagnosis in Pediatric Emergency Transfers
This study tests a new toolkit to help doctors better diagnose sepsis in children during emergency transfer calls. It looks back at records and call recordings to see if the toolkit improves how sepsis is spotted early.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month+ - NCT07073456Recruiting
Blood clotting test for early sepsis detection
This study is testing a new blood test that looks at how well your blood clots to see if it can help find sepsis (a severe response to infection) earlier. It is for adults who might have an infection, but you cannot be taking certain medications or have certain health conditions.
Chaïdári, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT07230067Recruiting
Sepsis with low platelets: platelet transfusion study
This study looks at whether platelet transfusions help patients with sepsis and very low platelet counts recover better. If you or your loved one had sepsis, a low platelet count, and were in the ICU for at least two days, this trial may be relevant.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03044223Recruiting
Profiles of immune cells in severe Pseudomonas sepsis
This study looks at patterns of immune cells in people who are critically ill with sepsis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system responds and improve care for this serious infection.
UlmAges 18–90 - NCT06904001Enrolling by invitation
Early warning model for sepsis in critically ill patients
This trial is building a tool to predict sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection, in intensive care patients. It may help doctors act faster to prevent complications.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–99 - NCT05304728Enrolling by invitation
Hospital sepsis decision support program enrollment study
This study tests a computer system meant to help doctors recognize and manage sepsis (a serious body-wide response to infection) when people come to the emergency department or are admitted to the hospital. If you’re evaluated in a hospital setting for possible sepsis, you may be included to help improve care decisions.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT05110937Recruiting
Testing immune cell changes in sepsis and trauma shock
This study looks at abnormal immune cells (from the bone marrow) in people with sepsis or severe trauma with shock. It aims to understand why the body’s immune response gets out of balance, which could help guide future treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT07770347Enrolling by invitation
Sepsis and the immune system study
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who are critically ill with sepsis. By understanding these changes, doctors hope to find better ways to treat this serious condition.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07407868Recruiting
Call for life: Sepsis study at hospital
This study follows adults hospitalized with sepsis to help improve care. You will be visited daily while in the hospital and get a phone call after you leave.
KampalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07610486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Optimizing Ampicillin Dosing for Preterm Infants
This study aims to find the best dose of ampicillin for premature babies in the NICU who are being treated for possible early infection. The goal is to improve treatment and reduce side effects.
Durham, North CarolinaAges birth–1 week - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 day–17 years - NCT02055105Recruiting
Study tests a blood test pattern in children with sepsis
This trial studies how a specific pattern in blood (called “molecular fingerprinting”) changes in children with suspected or developing sepsis. The goal is to help doctors better recognize sepsis early and understand how it progresses, which may improve care.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 1–18 - NCT06655389Recruiting
Link between PLA levels and sepsis heart failure severity
This study looks at how levels of a substance called PLA relate to how severe sepsis-related heart failure is. It may help doctors understand your condition better and guide treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–90 - NCT07740304Recruiting
Blood flow test to predict survival in sepsis patients
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
Edirne, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT07727265Recruiting
Sepsis and blood vessel injury study
This trial is testing a new approach to understand how sepsis (a severe infection) damages blood vessels. It looks at tiny particles released by cells and a protein called PLIN3 to see if they can help protect blood vessels in patients with sepsis.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07502794Recruiting
Long-term study of sepsis patients after ICU care
This study follows up with patients who had sepsis in the ICU to understand their long-term health outcomes. It may help improve care for future patients.
Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06344819RecruitingPhase 2
Acupuncture for People at High Risk of Sepsis
This study tests whether acupuncture can help people at high risk for sepsis, a serious infection that can lead to organ failure. If you’re 18 or older, have had a sepsis order set put in within the last two days, and are not yet in the ICU, you may be able to join.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07707765Recruiting
Early help after sepsis in the ICU to prevent PTSD
This study tests whether early psychological support after sepsis in the ICU can reduce the chance of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you recently left the ICU after sepsis, you may be able to join.
AshkelonAges 18–120 - NCT07707622Enrolling by invitation
Sepsis treatment study for ICU patients
This trial studies treatments for sepsis, a serious infection complication, in ICU patients. It aims to find better ways to care for critically ill patients with sepsis.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04230447Recruiting
Study of brain confusion in sepsis patients
This study builds a group of adults with sepsis who develop sudden brain problems, like delirium or coma. It aims to better understand how often this happens and how it may be recognized in hospital, which could help future care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–89 - NCT04280497Recruiting
Testing fast ways to tell steroid-resistant sepsis from sensitive
This trial studies a quick set of tests to figure out whether a person with severe infection (sepsis) will respond to corticosteroids like hydrocortisone. The goal is to guide treatment sooner and avoid ineffective care.
Garches, Hauts-de-SeineAges 18 years+ - NCT04448951Recruiting
Study of immune response in early sepsis or septic shock
This trial looks at how the immune system behaves in the first day after septic shock begins. It may help researchers find better ways to support the body’s immune balance during sepsis, but you must be enrolled very quickly.

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.
