NCT ID NCT03189355
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 52 adults with septic shock to see if a protein called PTP1B and gut barrier changes are linked to muscle loss. Researchers took blood samples and used ultrasound to measure muscle. The goal was to gather knowledge, not to test a treatment.
