Testing a drug for kidney injury from sepsis in the ICU
This trial tests if a new drug, AZD4144, can help people with sepsis-related acute kidney injury in the ICU. It aims to see if the drug can improve kidney recovery and reduce complications.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT06915974Recruiting
Comparing Blood Tests for Sepsis in Burn ICU Patients
This study is comparing two blood tests (Interleukin 6 and Procalcitonin) to find which is better at detecting sepsis (a serious infection) and predicting the risk of death in burn patients in the ICU. If you have moderate burns and are otherwise healthy, this trial could help improve care for burn victims.
CairoAges 25–60 - NCT06666946Recruiting
Electroacupuncture for sepsis patients in the ICU
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation through thin needles placed in the lower legs (electroacupuncture) can help patients fight sepsis in the ICU. It aims to see if this treatment reduces organ damage and speeds recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06943326Recruiting
How food given through a tube affects recovery in sepsis patients
This trial tests if the type of tube feeding given to sepsis patients in the ICU can affect their recovery. It aims to find the best diet to help fight the infection and prevent complications.
SanliurfaAges 18 years+ - NCT07172451RecruitingPhase 4
Gelaspan vs standard fluids for sepsis with belly infection
This trial tests whether a fluid called Gelaspan (a gelatin-based IV fluid) is better for treating sepsis patients who need emergency abdominal surgery than standard crystalloid fluids. It checks if you have a belly infection and high lactate levels, and you must not have serious heart, lung, or kidney problems.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 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+ - NCT07152106Recruiting
Amniotic fluid and the preterm baby's gut
This study looks at the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) and how it might affect your baby's gut health if they are born early. It may help doctors understand how to better care for preterm infants.
AmsterdamAges 16 years+ - NCT07130799Recruiting
Monitoring immune response in severe abdominal infections with fungal risk
This trial monitors a marker of immune function (monocyte HLA-DR) in patients with severe abdominal infections that may lead to fungal infections. It aims to see if this marker can help guide treatment.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT07126106Recruiting
Testing a computer program to find sepsis earlier in the ICU
This study tests a new computer program that helps doctors find serious infections (sepsis and bacteremia) earlier in ICU patients. If you join, the program will analyze your health data to see if it can better predict these infections, which could help you get faster treatment.
Seyrantepe, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06963853Recruiting
Study of infection and body chemicals in dialysis patients with sepsis
This study looks at germs and body chemicals in dialysis patients who are in the hospital with sepsis. The goal is to learn more about how these factors affect recovery.
Nahariya, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT07089524Recruiting
Comparing two blood tests for sepsis in ICUs
This study compares two blood test measurements (neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and lactate/albumin ratio) to see which better predicts how severe an infection is in ICU patients with sepsis. It aims to find a simpler way to track inflammation.
Cairo, AbbassiaAges 18–80 - NCT07084129RecruitingPhase 1
Vancomycin and kidney injury study for children with sepsis

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 month–17 years - NCT05634057Recruiting
Treating sepsis with a medication plus blood thinner
This trial studies whether combining anisodamine (a medicine for certain gut/smooth-muscle effects) with a low-molecular-weight blood thinner helps treat sepsis. It may be aimed at improving outcomes compared with standard care, but eligibility depends on safety factors like bleeding risk and organ function.
Beijing, ChinaAges 18–110 - NCT07074028Recruiting
Tracking muscle changes in ICU patients with sepsis

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.
