First seen Apr 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 15, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a drug called GM-CSF could help children with severe sepsis and multiple organ failure.

The goal was to see if boosting the immune system could help the children's organs recover better and improve their long-term health.
