Using blood fluorescence to detect sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to detect sepsis using fluorescence from a blood sample. It may help doctors identify sepsis earlier and improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older).
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you have no chronic illnesses and have not been in the hospital in the last 2 years.
- If you are in the sepsis group, you have a confirmed infection and high scores on two sepsis severity tests (qSOFA ≥ 2 and SOFA ≥ 2).
- If you are in the non-septic severe control group, you have a suspected or confirmed infection and a SOFA score of exactly 1.
- You are not pregnant, do not have a mental illness, and are not a vulnerable adult.

This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors find out if ICU patients with infections are likely to develop sepsis within the next 48 hours. If you join, the researchers will measure a protein in your blood and follow you to see if you get sepsis.
This trial uses a blood fluorescence test to check for early signs of sepsis. It may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster, allowing for quicker treatment.
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.
This trial is looking for patients who have an infection and are showing early signs of getting sicker, like a high warning score. It aims to find out if doctors can identify those at risk of sepsis sooner so they can start treatment earlier.
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 a blood test that may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster. It involves people with sepsis and healthy volunteers to compare results.
