Blood test study of immune cell markers in ICU sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being treated in the ICU for sepsis (a serious body-wide infection)
- You currently have a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) in place
- For comparison, you may be scheduled for an elective surgery with a planned blood draw or an IV placed
- If you are having planned surgery, you will also have an endotracheal tube for the procedure
- You cannot be on long-term immune-suppressing medicines (like chronic steroid pills) or have a known immune deficiency, transplant, or cancer-related immune suppression

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.
This study wants to learn how your immune system reacts to a serious infection (like sepsis) in the ICU. By looking at your immune cells, doctors hope to better predict your recovery and find the best treatment for you.
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.
This study compares two blood test methods to help predict sepsis (a severe infection) and patient outcomes in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients faster and more accurately.
This trial studies people with and without sepsis in the ICU to understand why some get very sick from infections. It aims to find better ways to predict who will have complications and guide treatment.
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.
