Recovery blend for elderly sepsis patients
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a special combination of hydrocortisone, vitamin C, and vitamin B1 helps older adults with sepsis recover better. It looks at how the treatment affects tiny blood vessels and overall survival.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 85 years old.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether two medicines (hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone) can help people with severe infections that cause dangerously low blood pressure (septic shock). It's for patients who have just been diagnosed and haven't used steroids recently.
This trial tests whether a combination of vitamins B6, B12, and C can help improve blood flow in tiny blood vessels (microcirculation) for people with sepsis. It may help your body recover better from severe infection.
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 giving stress-dose hydrocortisone can improve outcomes for children with septic shock in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It is designed for children who are already receiving strong medicines to support blood pressure because of a serious infection.
This study tests whether adding a steroid called fludrocortisone to standard care helps people with septic shock (a dangerous drop in blood pressure from infection) get better faster. If you are in the ICU, on a breathing machine, and need strong medication for your blood pressure, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a new blood-cleansing device (HemoSystem REBOOT) that may help people with sepsis by removing harmful substances and improving immune function. It is for critically ill patients whose immune systems remain suppressed despite standard sepsis treatment.
