NCT ID NCT07551258

First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study watches 170 ICU patients on breathing machines to see if a temporary immune system weakness (called immunoparalysis) raises the chance of getting pneumonia. Researchers will measure immune markers in elderly patients (65+), younger adults, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand the link, not to test a treatment.
