NCT ID NCT07343206
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving the drug norepinephrine early and adjusting the dose quickly can improve survival in adults with septic shock. Researchers will compare this approach to standard care with a placebo. Six hundred participants will be monitored for 28 days to see if early treatment reduces deaths and speeds recovery.
