Brain, bone marrow, and gut study after major injury
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a blunt injury (like from a car crash) that is severe, with a broken long bone or pelvis that needs surgery.
- You must have had signs of shock after injury, such as low blood pressure or needing a blood transfusion.
- You cannot be a prisoner, pregnant, or have had a bone marrow transplant.
- You cannot be on long-term steroids or immunosuppressive medications.
- You cannot have end-stage kidney disease or a pre-existing blood disorder.

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 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 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.
This study looks at how many people with serious injuries could receive a blood transfusion before reaching the hospital. It helps doctors understand if giving blood during emergency transport is a realistic option for major trauma patients.
This study looks at changes in the microbiome (gut bacteria) in adults after serious ICU illnesses like sepsis, major trauma, or open heart/abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide future treatments.
This study follows people with severe injuries (including head injuries and bleeding) to better understand serious complications that can happen after trauma. Your experience may help doctors predict and prevent these complications in the future.
