Septic shock drug trial halted early: Midodrine's promise unfulfilled

NCT ID NCT03706053

First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tested whether the oral drug midodrine could help people with septic shock stop receiving IV blood pressure medications sooner. The trial aimed to enroll adults in the ICU with septic shock who needed a steady dose of norepinephrine. However, the study was stopped early after enrolling only 10 participants, so no clear conclusions can be drawn about midodrine's effectiveness.
