Gut barrier test in ICU patients with organ failure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the gut barrier works in people with severe infections that cause organ failure. It measures intestinal permeability using a simple test, to see if a 'leaky gut' contributes to how sick patients get.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in intensive care for a serious infection that caused one or more organs to stop working.
- Your organ failure started within the last few hours, and a severity score (called SAPS 2) falls within a specific range.
- You can eat on your own or have a feeding tube that was placed for your routine care.
- You or a trusted person can give permission for the study.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding (if applicable).

This study looks at how gut bacteria affect severe infections in the ICU. It tests whether the microbiome can be a source of sepsis and a target for treatment. If you are critically ill or a long-term sepsis survivor, you might help find new ways to prevent infections.
This study looks at gut bacteria changes in people in the ICU with severe brain injury or multiple trauma/shock. It uses a noninvasive breathing measurement to see how energy needs relate to the gut's microbes.
This trial tests if giving tube feeding at certain times of day, instead of continuously, helps people on breathing machines recover from organ failure faster. It is for patients who need a breathing tube and are receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
This trial looks at what causes blood vessels to “leak” fluid during a dangerous whole-body inflammation response. It may help doctors understand why some people develop fluid buildup and aim for better monitoring and care in the ICU.
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 looks at gut barrier function in people with ulcerative colitis who are in remission. It uses a non-invasive liver test to check for subtle changes in the body.
