Paroxetine for circulation problems in early septic shock
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether paroxetine can improve heart and blood-flow function in adults with septic shock that started within the last 48 hours. If you’re eligible, you may be asked to take the study medicine soon after diagnosis to see if it helps your cardiovascular function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have septic shock diagnosed within the past 48 hours
- Be on a certain dose of noradrenaline (at least 0.01 mcg/kg/min)
- Be able to give consent (or have a legal guardian consent) before randomization

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called norepinephrine early and adjusting the dose quickly can help people with sepsis who have very low blood pressure. It is for adults who are diagnosed within the last 3 hours and who have not already received this medicine.
This trial tests different combinations of blood pressure medicines given to patients on a breathing machine who have septic shock. The goal is to find the best dose of a second medicine when norepinephrine alone isn't enough.
This study tests a medication called esmolol to see if it helps blood flow in tiny blood vessels under the tongue for people with septic shock. If you have a fast heart rate despite treatment, this trial may help your doctors better manage your condition.
This trial tests whether a blood filtering treatment called hemoadsorption can help protect blood vessels in people with septic shock. It may be an option for patients who are already on strong blood pressure medications and steroids.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting a medicine called norepinephrine early can improve outcomes for adults with sepsis (a serious body-wide response to infection) and low blood pressure. You might be considered if you’re very early in hospital care and meet specific blood pressure and lactate tests.
This trial studies how norepinephrine affects the heart and circulation in adults with septic shock whose blood pressure stays low after the first day. It may help doctors better choose and adjust medicines to support blood pressure and organ function.
