Testing a new fluid for septic shock with low blood pressure
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests an investigational fluid called VBI-S to see if it can help raise blood pressure in people with septic shock who are not responding to standard fluids. You may qualify if you have severe infection and low blood pressure that needs medication support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You have septic shock with a known infection source, positive blood culture, or high procalcitonin level.
- Your blood pressure stays low (mean under 65 mmHg) even after standard fluids.
- You are on medications (vasopressors) to keep your blood pressure up.
- You have signs of organ problems (SOFA score of 5 or more).
- You cannot have serious bleeding, low platelets, or be pregnant.

This study is testing two different ways of giving intravenous fluids to patients with sepsis (a severe infection) who have low blood pressure. It aims to find out whether giving more or less fluid is better for recovery.
This trial tests a new way to see if giving more fluids helps patients with septic shock, a severe infection that drops blood pressure. It uses a quick heart ultrasound to check if fluids will improve blood flow, aiming to guide better treatment.
This study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (sepsis) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to understand how fluids affect blood flow and congestion to improve treatment.
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 a simple blood test to measure how your blood vessels leak fluid during septic shock. The results may help doctors give the right amount of fluids to keep you stable.
This study looks at how a hormone system that controls blood pressure acts in people with septic shock (a severe infection causing low blood pressure). It compares patients with septic shock, sepsis without shock, cardiogenic shock, and healthy people to find differences that might lead to better treatments.
