First seen Feb 14, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study aims to find epigenetic markers in the blood that could predict whether a patient with sepsis will develop the more dangerous septic shock. Researchers will take blood samples from 25 male patients after major digestive cancer surgery who develop sepsis. By comparing markers between those who worsen and those who don't, they hope to identify early warning signs.

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 which sepsis patients are at risk of worsening to septic shock, allowing earlier and more targeted treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage study with only 25 male patients after specific surgeries, so results may not apply to all sepsis patients and may not lead to a practical test.
