Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will observe 84 critically ill children with sepsis to understand how often heart injury occurs and what predicts it. Researchers will use blood tests and heart ultrasounds to track heart function. The goal is to better identify and manage heart problems in these children, not to test a new treatment.

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 could help doctors identify heart problems in septic children earlier and avoid unnecessary risky procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. It is small (84 participants) and not yet recruiting.
