AI blood test could spot deadly clotting complication in sepsis patients
NCT ID NCT07630415
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to validate a new blood test that uses artificial intelligence to detect disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) early in patients with septic shock. DIC is a severe clotting disorder that often leads to death, but current diagnostic methods are complex and rarely used. The test measures a specific blood cell signal and combines it with AI to provide a faster, more reliable diagnosis. Researchers will enroll 492 adults in intensive care to see if this approach works better than existing tools.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- neutrophil fluorescence test and AI model
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a simple, fast blood test to catch a deadly complication of sepsis early, potentially saving lives.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study, not a treatment trial. The test may not prove accurate enough in real-world intensive care settings.
