SC2i tissue and data collection for people needing urgent care
This study collects small samples of tissue and body fluids and related health data from people who need surgery or treatment in an emergency or critical care setting. The goal is to build a resource researchers can use to better understand illness and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are receiving care at one of these hospitals: Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University Hospital, or Duke University Health System
- Your injury or illness requires surgery or treatment in an emergency or intensive/critical care setting
- You can understand the study and agree to sign consent in writing (or, if you can’t, a legal helper can sign for you)
- For healthy volunteers: you do not have any known injury and do not have end-stage organ disease, or you have recovered from a prior injury
- A doctor does not think participation would put you at undue risk or prevent needed samples from being collected safely

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how certain natural molecules in your blood might affect recovery from severe infections or sepsis. By understanding these molecules, doctors hope to better predict outcomes and personalize treatment for patients in the ICU.
This study collects tissue and blood samples from burn patients to improve a computer model that predicts sepsis (a severe infection). The goal is to help doctors identify and treat sepsis earlier in burn patients.
This study looks at how your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
This trial sets up a way to collect and store physiological readings (like vital-sign data) from adults in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve how doctors understand and monitor critically ill patients over time.
This trial studies how early severe illness in the ICU can be understood and tracked using health data (bioinformatics/informatics). It may help improve care decisions for people who arrive to the ICU soon after an emergency department visit.
This trial is looking for adult volunteers who agree to have blood and/or tissue samples collected and stored for later studies. It may help researchers better understand the immune system and future treatments, although it is mainly a sample-storage study rather than a specific drug treatment.
