Adding vasopressin to treat septic shock
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called vasopressin helps improve blood pressure, urine output, and blood flow in people with septic shock. It aims to see if this extra treatment helps the body recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are being treated in an intensive care unit
- You have septic shock (a severe infection causing very low blood pressure)
- Your doctor plans to start vasopressin as a second-line treatment

This trial tests whether adding vasopressin (a hormone that narrows blood vessels) to usual care can improve recovery in patients with septic shock (a severe infection causing very low blood pressure). If you are already on a strong blood pressure medication, this study may help stabilize your condition.
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 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 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 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.
This study tests an investigational fluid called VBI-S to see if it can help raise blood pressure in people with septic shock who are not responding to standard fluids. You may qualify if you have severe infection and low blood pressure that needs medication support.
