Could a Plant-Derived drug improve blood flow in septic shock?
NCT ID NCT07657702
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will test a drug called anisodamine in 20 adults with septic shock who are on a ventilator. The goal is to see if the drug can improve blood flow in small blood vessels and help with a phenomenon called 'vascular waterfall.' This is a very early study to gather information for future, larger trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Anisodamine (a drug given intravenously)
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward a new way to improve blood flow in septic shock patients, potentially leading to better treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early pilot study with only 20 patients and no comparison group. It is designed to gather preliminary data, not to prove effectiveness. The drug may not show clear benefits or could have side effects.
