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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial examines how the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (a hormone system that helps control blood pressure) changes in patients with septic shock, compared to those with sepsis without shock, cardiogenic shock, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these changes and possibly improve treatment.
This trial compares whether giving more liberal or more restricted IV fluids helps stabilize people with sepsis and low blood pressure. It may help your team choose a fluid strategy that better supports blood flow to your organs.
This trial tests whether adding vasopressin (a drug that helps raise blood pressure) to standard treatment can help people with septic shock. It is for adults who already need a high dose of another blood pressure medicine called noradrenaline.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids and blood pressure medicines in patients with septic shock. It aims to find if using a specific blood flow measurement (capillary refill time) can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
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 testing a new way of measuring how much fluid leaks from your blood vessels during severe infection (septic shock). The goal is to help doctors decide how much fluid to give, which may improve recovery and prevent complications.
