How the immune system changes during sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be admitted to INOVA Fairfax Hospital
- You must have sepsis in the last 48 hours (a severe infection causing organ problems)
- You need to be able to understand and sign a consent form (either you or a legal representative)
- You cannot have very low hemoglobin (severe anemia) or be on certain strong blood-pressure medications
- You cannot be pregnant or have a pre-existing condition that makes it hard to understand the study

This study looks at how the immune system reacts to sepsis (a severe infection that causes organs to fail) and whether there are lasting effects on health. It may help researchers understand why some people recover well and others don’t.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who are critically ill with sepsis. By understanding these changes, doctors hope to find better ways to treat this serious condition.
This study looks at how the immune system changes in people with sepsis (a severe response to infection that can cause organ failure). It aims to understand immune dysfunction to help improve treatments.
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.
This study looks at how severe infections (like sepsis) affect the body's immune system over time. It may help researchers find better ways to help patients recover.
This trial looks at how the immune system changes after septic shock in adults in the ICU. It may help doctors better predict or manage complications by studying blood markers a few days after starting treatment.
