Testing a nutrient supplement for energy problems in septic shock
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a metabolite (nutrient) supplement can help the body’s cells work better when someone is in septic shock. It is done in the ICU, and it may benefit people with sepsis who still have poor circulation and high lactate levels despite standard treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be in the ICU at Angers University Hospital
- Have septic shock, including ongoing low blood pressure needing vasopressors and a high lactate level despite enough IV fluids
- Not have a known (preexisting) mitochondrial disease
- Not be pregnant (or currently giving birth)
- Not be under legal protection, an unwilling participant, or have aplasia

This trial tests whether adding L-citrulline to tube feeding (enteral nutrition) can improve outcomes for people in the ICU with sepsis or septic shock. It may help support the body’s immune response while you’re critically ill.
This study looks at how the body uses energy (metabolism) in people with septic shock. It collects information from standard monitoring during a fluid challenge (a small IV fluid test) to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat septic shock.
This trial looks at how the immune system changes after septic shock in adults in the ICU. It may help doctors better predict or manage complications by studying blood markers a few days after starting treatment.
This trial tests a special fluid management strategy for people in septic shock—a serious infection that causes very low blood pressure. It aims to improve blood flow to organs and help you recover.
This study is checking if a simple blood test (urea-to-creatinine ratio) can tell how your body is using energy during a serious infection called septic shock, compared to a more complex breathing test. It might help doctors better manage your care in the ICU.
This trial looks at how well the heart and blood vessels are working in people with septic shock. It helps doctors decide the best way to reduce blood pressure medication safely.
