Adding vasopressin for septic shock in the ICU
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called vasopressin helps improve blood pressure, urine output, and blood flow in patients with septic shock who are already in the ICU. If you are about to start vasopressin as part of your care, the study will see if it works better than other treatments alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older
- You are in an intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have septic shock (severe infection causing very low blood pressure)
- Your doctor wants to start vasopressin as a second-line treatment alongside other medications
- You are being monitored with a special device to check your heart and blood flow as part of your usual care
- You are not pregnant, not under legal protection, and you agree to participate

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 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 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 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 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 trial tests if a drug called vasopressin can help prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. It's for adults in the ICU who have a predicted risk score of 5 or higher based on their lab and health data.
