Prevent fast heart rhythms during sepsis shock with rate control drugs
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a heart-rate–controlling medication can better manage a new fast heart rhythm that happens during sepsis shock. It may help reduce heart strain and improve safety compared with standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have sepsis shock: suspected or confirmed infection plus antibiotics, and you need medicines to raise blood pressure for at least 1 hour
- You have a new fast upper-chamber heart rhythm (supraventricular arrhythmia) with a heart rate of 110+ for at least 5 minutes
- You can give consent (you, your legal representative, or next of kin if it’s an emergency)
- You are part of a social security system

This Phase 3 trial tests whether landiolol (a short-acting heart-rate–lowering medicine) can improve blood circulation in adults with septic shock whose heart rate is too fast. Doctors will also check that the medication is safe in this critical-care setting.
This trial tests a medication called esmolol (a short-acting beta-blocker) to see if it can improve blood flow in tiny blood vessels (microcirculation) and help stabilize blood pressure in people with septic shock who have a fast heart rate. The goal is to see if slowing the heart rate can improve organ function and recovery.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels work together in people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand heart function better during serious infections, which could lead to improved care.
This trial tests whether adding vasopressin (a hormone that narrows blood vessels) to usual care can improve recovery in patients with septic shock (a severe infection causing very low blood pressure). If you are already on a strong blood pressure medication, this study may help stabilize your condition.
This study tests whether a medicine called esmolol, which slows the heart rate, can help people with septic shock (a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure) when their heart is beating too fast. Doctors will use ultrasound to make sure it's safe before giving the medicine.
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.
