Recruiting studies
- NCT06323226Recruiting
Sepsis long-term outcomes in critically ill children
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection that can affect the whole body) affects children after they leave the intensive care unit. It compares children who had sepsis to those with other critical illnesses to understand long-term health.
Chengdu, SichuanAges birth–16 years - NCT06178822Recruiting
New blood tests to diagnose sepsis in the ER
This study aims to find new ways to quickly diagnose sepsis (a severe response to infection) in patients arriving at the emergency room. If successful, these new tests could help doctors start treatment faster.
Almere Stad, FlevolandAges 18 years+ - NCT06145724Recruiting
Reducing maternal sepsis complications in New York City hospitals
This study looks at hospital records to find ways to reduce serious infections (sepsis) in mothers after childbirth. It aims to improve care and save lives.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - 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.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 65 years+ - NCT05634733Recruiting
Testing how a heart ultrasound finding changes in sepsis treatment
This study looks at how a measurement from a bedside heart ultrasound changes while treating people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand how to monitor response to treatment using a quick ultrasound test.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT04103268Recruiting
Study blood tests to understand organ injury in children with sepsis
This study uses special blood testing to learn what is happening in the immune system during sepsis in children and how it may relate to organ injury. Your results may help doctors recognize and treat sepsis earlier and more accurately.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 month–17 years - NCT04103281Recruiting
Blood test study of immune cell markers in ICU sepsis
This trial looks at patterns in certain immune cells (neutrophils) in people with sepsis in the ICU, including those who have a breathing tube. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system changes during sepsis and could guide future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–50 - NCT03244293Recruiting
Using a brain monitoring number to grade sepsis severity
This trial tests whether a bedside monitoring number called BIS can help sort sepsis into severity levels. If you have sepsis in the ICU, it may help clinicians track how serious it is and guide care.
Dalian, DalianAges Any age - NCT05347238Recruiting
Dopamine or norepinephrine for low blood pressure in very preterm babies
This trial compares two common medicines—dopamine versus norepinephrine—to treat low blood pressure in very preterm babies who have suspected or confirmed late-onset bloodstream infection (sepsis). It may help doctors find which medicine works better and more safely for this specific situation.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT07126574Enrolling by invitation
Blood tests for diagnosing sepsis in adult burn patients
This study is testing how well certain blood tests can detect sepsis (a severe infection in the blood) in adults with burns. If you are in the burn ICU with a significant burn and your doctors suspect sepsis, your blood test results may help guide treatment.
SeoulAges 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 - NCT02936232Recruiting
Registry for severe sepsis and septic shock
This registry collects medical information from adults who have suspected or proven serious infection causing body organ problems. It helps researchers better understand what happens in severe sepsis and septic shock and may guide future care.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT01670383Recruiting
Study sample collection for sepsis and after cardiac arrest
This trial collects and stores small samples from people in the ICU who are either being treated for sepsis or who have survived a non-traumatic cardiac arrest. It may help researchers better understand how the body changes after severe infection or after revival, which could improve future care.
SeoulAges 16 years+ - NCT07863323Recruiting
Guided fluid therapy for sepsis in internal medicine
This study tests whether using a non-invasive monitor to guide fluid and medication decisions helps people with sepsis recover better than standard care. It aims to improve blood flow and organ function without extra needles or procedures.
Pisa, PisaAges 18 years+ - NCT07866118Recruiting
Immune recovery treatment for adults with sepsis
This study tests a medicine called thymalfasin, which may help the immune system recover in adults with sepsis (a severe infection that causes organ damage). It aims to see if this treatment can improve immune function and possibly outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07863908Recruiting
Sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome study in China
This study looks at patients with sepsis (a severe infection that affects organs) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, a serious lung condition) to learn more about these illnesses and improve care.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT05806762Recruiting
Wearable patch study to predict sepsis rehospitalization
This study uses a wearable skin patch placed on you during a sepsis hospital stay to help predict whether you might need to be readmitted after discharge. It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk of rehospitalization and plan follow-up care earlier.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07841535Recruiting
Faster germ detection in sepsis patients at an Indonesian hospital
This study compares different laboratory methods to find the exact germs causing your sepsis more quickly and accurately. Faster identification could mean better targeted treatment, potentially improving your recovery.
Jakarta, DKI JakartaAges 18 years+ - NCT07811544Enrolling by invitation
Immune system study for sepsis-related kidney injury after surgery
This study looks at how the immune system responds in patients who develop sepsis after surgery and how it relates to kidney injury. It aims to help improve care for conditions like this.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07795502Recruiting
Tracking infections in cancer patients with sepsis
This study watches how infections grow and respond to treatment in cancer patients who may have sepsis. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and monitor sepsis early, which could improve care and outcomes.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 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.
Pilsen, Česká RepublikaAges 18 years+ - NCT07774013Recruiting
Early infection testing for premature newborns
This study tests a faster way to check premature babies for infection using a small blood sample taken shortly after birth. It aims to help doctors detect and treat infections earlier.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sepsis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 267 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.
