New blood tests to diagnose sepsis in the ER
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study aims to find new ways to quickly diagnose sepsis (a severe response to infection) in patients arriving at the emergency room. If successful, these new tests could help doctors start treatment faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You are currently being treated in the emergency room
- You have symptoms of an infection or a doctor has confirmed you have an infection
- You have a modified early warning score (MEWS) of 2 or higher (a measure used by doctors to check how sick you might be)

This trial tests a new, faster way to find bacteria in the blood of children with suspected sepsis. It uses a molecular test that may give results sooner than standard cultures, helping doctors treat infections more quickly.
This study tests two new blood tests to see if they can help doctors find sepsis earlier in the emergency department. Sepsis is a serious condition where the body overreacts to an infection, and finding it quickly could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
This study is testing whether a special blood test can help predict sepsis earlier in people who come to the emergency department. It might help get faster treatment and better outcomes.
This study is testing a blood test that may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster. It involves people with sepsis and healthy volunteers to compare results.
This study tests whether giving an early antibiotic (meropenem) based on a new blood test (PSP) can prevent serious infections (sepsis) in people who come to the emergency department with signs of infection. The goal is to find out if this approach helps them get better faster and avoid more severe illness.
This trial is testing whether certain markers in your blood or other samples can help doctors diagnose sepsis (a severe infection that affects your organs) more quickly. If you join, the study will use samples already collected to look for these markers, which might lead to faster treatment for future patients.
