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 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 biomarkers (substances in your body) can help diagnose sepsis faster. Sepsis is a serious condition where your body has a severe response to an infection. The study will look at blood or other samples to see if these markers can quickly tell if you have sepsis, which could lead to faster treatment.
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 trial is testing whether a new, highly sensitive blood test (droplet digital PCR) combined with genetic analysis can help doctors predict sepsis earlier in emergency room patients. This could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
This trial tests a new blood test called the Sepsis ImmunoScore that may help doctors quickly identify sepsis (a life-threatening infection response). The test looks at your immune system's response to see if you have sepsis, which could help you get treatment faster.
This study tests whether a special blood test can help doctors quickly identify patients who have serious infections (sepsis) in the emergency department. The test looks at white blood cells that glow under fluorescent light to see if they can predict which patients are at highest risk.
