NCT ID NCT04103268
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at neutrophils—a type of white blood cell—in children with sepsis, a severe infection that can harm organs. Researchers want to learn how these cells change and cause damage. The goal is to find clues that could lead to better treatments. The study will compare 72 children with sepsis to healthy children.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help doctors develop therapies that prevent harmful immune cells from causing organ damage in children with sepsis.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead directly to new therapies, and findings might not apply to all sepsis patients.
