Monitoring immune function during septic shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) affects the immune system. The goal is to see if certain blood markers can help doctors predict recovery, which could improve the care of future patients with septic shock.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- In the hospital with septic shock (a severe infection causing very low blood pressure) that started less than 48 hours ago
- Need for medicine to maintain blood pressure (vasopressors)
- High lactate level in the blood within 24 hours of starting the blood pressure medicine
- You (or a family member) have been informed about the study and agreed to take part

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how special cells from bone marrow (called stem cells) might help fix immune problems caused by sepsis. The goal is to see if these cells can improve how your immune system works during a severe infection.
This study looks at how the immune system changes during sepsis, a life-threatening infection that can cause organ failure. By studying blood samples over time, researchers hope to find better ways to treat or prevent complications.
This study looks at abnormal immune cells (from the bone marrow) in people with sepsis or severe trauma with shock. It aims to understand why the body’s immune response gets out of balance, which could help guide future treatments.
This study looks at how certain natural molecules in your blood might affect recovery from severe infections or sepsis. By understanding these molecules, doctors hope to better predict outcomes and personalize treatment for patients in the ICU.
This trial looks at how the immune system behaves in the first day after septic shock begins. It may help researchers find better ways to support the body’s immune balance during sepsis, but you must be enrolled very quickly.
This study is testing a blood test that may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster. It involves people with sepsis and healthy volunteers to compare results.
