Experimental antibody aims to stabilize blood pressure in sepsis patients
NCT ID NCT06608901
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an experimental drug called REGN7544 in 76 adults hospitalized with sepsis and low blood pressure. The drug is an antibody designed to help raise blood pressure and reduce the need for standard medications. Researchers measured safety, blood pressure changes, and total vasopressor use during the hospital stay.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- REGN7544 (an experimental antibody)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new treatment to stabilize blood pressure in sepsis patients, reducing the need for standard vasopressors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early Phase 2 trial with only 76 participants. The drug may not improve outcomes or could cause side effects. Results may not apply to all sepsis patients.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Proven or suspected infection defined as administration or planned administration of antimicrobial therapy within the screening period 2. Sepsis-induced hypotension that has not responded to Intravenous (IV) fluids, receiving 1 or 2 vasopressors and maintaining a Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) of ≥ 65 mm Hg for at least 2 consecutive hours immediately prior to randomization, as defined in the protocol Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Unable to obtain informed consent by participant or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) 2. Clinical status requires vasopressor and/or Blood Pressure (BP) management inconsistent with the study protocol 3. Primary cause of hypotension suspected to be due to non-sepsis cause (eg, hemorrhage, burns, or cardiogenic shock), including shock after cardiac arrest 4. Ejection fraction \<20% in the most recent known echocardiogram 5. Acute coronary syndrome based on clinical symptoms and/or electrocardiogram (ECG) during hospitalization 6. History of hospitalization due to heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia, transient ischemic attack, or unstable angina within the preceding 3 months 7. Any prior diagnosis of severe pulmonary hypertension, as defined in the protocol 8. Receiving 3 or more vasopressors or exceeding the maximal combined dose as defined in the protocol, during the screening period or at the time of study drug administration 9.
