Testing immune cell changes in sepsis and trauma shock
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at abnormal immune cells (from the bone marrow) in people with sepsis or severe trauma with shock. It aims to understand why the body’s immune response gets out of balance, which could help guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older
- Have either sepsis/septic shock, using Sepsis-3 definitions, or severe blunt trauma meeting specific injury/shock criteria
- Not have conditions that already severely weaken the immune system
- Not be on a treatment plan focused on comfort only or unlikely to recover from sepsis
- Not be pregnant, and not enroll if more than 96 hours passed since suspected sepsis began
- Not be too sick before arrival (bedridden most of the time) or have certain major injuries (like very severe brain injury or very large burns)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the body’s blood-related immune system “switches on” in unusual ways after a major injury or elective hip repair. The researchers hope this helps them understand who is at risk for complications and why, by measuring changes in your blood around the time of surgery or hospital treatment.
This study is looking at how the brain, bone marrow, and gut interact after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand how to better treat trauma patients.
This trial studies how bone marrow and blood-making cells may behave after severe trauma or after elective (planned) hip surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide better care.
This study looks at how special cells from bone marrow (called stem cells) might help fix immune problems caused by sepsis. The goal is to see if these cells can improve how your immune system works during a severe infection.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) affects the immune system. The goal is to see if certain blood markers can help doctors predict recovery, which could improve the care of future patients with septic shock.
This study looks at how the immune system reacts to sepsis (a severe infection that causes organs to fail) and whether there are lasting effects on health. It may help researchers understand why some people recover well and others don’t.
