New gut damage test could help ICU doctors spot hidden injury
NCT ID NCT07440368
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at a protein called I-FABP, which is released when gut cells are damaged. Researchers will measure it in the blood and urine of 500 ICU patients to see if it relates to how severe their gastrointestinal problems are. No treatments are given—this is purely to gather information and improve how doctors assess gut health in critical illness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more objective way to diagnose and grade gut injury in critically ill patients, improving care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't test any treatment. The biomarker may not prove useful in real-world settings.
