NCT ID NCT04439617

First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looked at 36 intensive care patients to see if severe infections (sepsis) change how immune cells produce energy. Researchers focused on mitochondria, the cell's power plants, in monocytes and macrophages. The goal was to understand why some patients' immune cells become dormant, making infections worse, so better treatments can be developed.
