NCT ID NCT05058612

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tests whether a pill called midodrine can help intensive care unit (ICU) patients with dangerously low blood pressure stop using intravenous (IV) blood pressure drugs sooner. About 870 adults whose IV medications are already being reduced will receive midodrine or a placebo. The goal is to see if midodrine lowers the risk of death within 28 days and shortens ICU stays.
