Best way to stop vasopressin in sepsis patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to safely stop the vasopressin medication in people with sepsis who are in the ICU. It aims to find the best approach to wean off this blood pressure support, which could help you recover more smoothly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
- You have sepsis that requires medication to keep your blood pressure up.
- You are currently receiving both norepinephrine and vasopressin medicines.
- You are not stopping vasopressin because of moving to comfort care or because you started a new medicine like adrenaline.

This trial tests whether giving a second medicine called vasopressin early (along with norepinephrine) helps people with sepsis and low blood pressure better than waiting to use vasopressin only if norepinephrine doesn't work. It may improve blood pressure control and reduce the need for strong medicines.
This study observes how the medication vasopressin works when added to standard treatment for septic shock in the ICU. It helps doctors understand if vasopressin improves outcomes for patients with severe infection and low blood pressure.
This study looks at a new way to guide how safely doctors can reduce the strong blood pressure medicine (norepinephrine) in ICU patients with septic shock. Participants must be on a ventilator and have stable blood pressure and heart function.
This study compares giving vasopressin earlier vs. later to patients with septic shock who are already on norepinephrine. The goal is to see if adding vasopressin sooner helps improve blood pressure recovery.
This trial tests whether adding vasopressin (a drug that helps raise blood pressure) to standard treatment can help people with septic shock. It is for adults who already need a high dose of another blood pressure medicine called noradrenaline.
This study tests if giving fewer fluids (other than the fluids to keep blood pressure up) can help people recover from septic shock. It compares a reduced fluid strategy to the usual care in the ICU.
