NCT ID NCT06709573

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether giving the drug vasopressin earlier or later during septic shock leads to better outcomes. Researchers will use a computer alert system to randomly assign 300 ICU patients to early or standard timing. The goal is to see if the timing can be reliably controlled and to compare patient results.
