Scientists hunt for sepsis clues in blood genes
NCT ID NCT07320638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a gene called TRIM25 in blood cells of people with sepsis—a life-threatening infection that can damage organs. Researchers will compare these gene activity levels between sepsis patients and non-sepsis patients. The goal is to find new markers that could lead to better ways to diagnose and treat sepsis.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of two primary, non-overlapping groups of adult participants recruited from the hospital setting: Sepsis Patient Cohort (Case Group): Adult patients (aged 18 years or older) who are diagnosed with Sepsis based on the Sepsis-3 clinical criteria (or the most current widely accepted clinical definitions) upon admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or general ward. Non-Sepsis Control Cohort (Control Group): Adult patients (aged 18 years or older) who are admitted to the hospital with non-infectious conditions or healthy volunteers, provided they do not meet the criteria for sepsis or severe infection at the time of enrollment. The enrollment process for both groups will be observational, involving the collection of a single peripheral blood sample for the isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and serum, as well as collection of relevant clinical data.
