New blood filter could save lives in septic shock
NCT ID NCT06692036
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new blood-filtering method called adaptive blood purification (ABP) for people with septic shock. The treatment aims to remove inflammatory substances from the blood. 276 adults in intensive care will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus two 6-hour ABP sessions. The main goal is to see if ABP reduces deaths within 90 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Adaptive blood purification (a blood-filtering procedure that removes inflammatory substances, with or without dialysis)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to reduce deaths from septic shock by filtering harmful substances from the blood.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with no prior proof of benefit. The procedure is complex and may not improve survival. Risks include complications from blood filtering.
