New blood test may help doctors time immune boosts in ICU
NCT ID NCT06549374
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study monitors immune function in 200 intensive care patients after severe trauma, high-risk surgery, or respiratory distress. Researchers use a simple, automated blood test to measure interferon-gamma levels, which indicate immune strength. The goal is to identify when patients are most vulnerable to infections, so future treatments can be given at the right time. No experimental treatment is provided in this study.
