Blood filter may calm the deadly inflammation of cardiogenic shock
NCT ID NCT06955936
First seen Aug 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a blood-filtering device called Efferon CT can help people with cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening complication of a heart attack. Cardiogenic shock triggers a massive inflammatory response that can damage organs. The device aims to remove inflammatory molecules from the blood. The study will compare recovery times and outcomes between patients who receive this therapy and those who do not.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Efferon CT, a blood-filtering device that removes inflammatory molecules from the blood
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this blood-filtering approach could offer a new way to help people survive cardiogenic shock after a heart attack by reducing dangerous inflammation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, and the device may not improve recovery or could carry risks like bleeding or infection. Results may not apply to all patients.
