Tracking infections in cancer patients with sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study watches how infections grow and respond to treatment in cancer patients who may have sepsis. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and monitor sepsis early, which could improve care and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cancer (solid tumor or blood cancer).
- Your doctor thinks you may have sepsis (a serious infection).
- A blood sample for culture was taken before or soon after starting antibiotics.
- You can be followed during your hospital stay.

This study tests a home monitoring system for people who come to the ER or their doctor with a serious infection that could turn into sepsis. The goal is to see if watching you at home can help catch worsening signs early and prevent hospitalization.
This study looks at blood markers (epigenetics) to better understand why some people have a harder time recovering from a severe infection after major cancer surgery. The goal is to find early signs of poor outcomes in men aged 45–75 with post-surgery sepsis.
This study looks at a type of immune cell called 'memory CD8+ T cells' in patients with sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection. The goal is to see if these cells are linked to how severe the sepsis is and the risk of dying. This may help doctors better predict outcomes for people with sepsis.
This trial tests a new way to detect sepsis using fluorescence from a blood sample. It may help doctors identify sepsis earlier and improve treatment.
This trial is testing whether a new, highly sensitive blood test (droplet digital PCR) combined with genetic analysis can help doctors predict sepsis earlier in emergency room patients. This could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
This trial is looking for patients who have an infection and are showing early signs of getting sicker, like a high warning score. It aims to find out if doctors can identify those at risk of sepsis sooner so they can start treatment earlier.
