What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether replacing albumin—a protein in the blood—can improve oxygen delivery in sepsis patients in the intensive care unit. Sepsis is a life-threatening response to infection that can starve organs of oxygen. The study includes adults with sepsis and low albumin levels who have already received standard fluid therapy. Researchers will measure oxygen delivery and track changes in organ function to see if albumin offers an added benefit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
albumin
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better fluid therapy strategy for sepsis patients in intensive care, potentially improving oxygen delivery and organ function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 45 participants, so results may not be conclusive or generalizable. Albumin replacement carries risks like allergic reactions or fluid overload.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), hemoglobin (Hb), partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (PaO2) values will be obtained by blood gas measurements. Cardiac output will be calculated from the parasternal long axis window by transthoracic echocardiography and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) measurement. LVOT peak velocity measurement (VTI) will be displayed in PulseWave mode through the apical 5-window window. During measurement, the image will be frozen and VTI will be measured from the widest wave. The effect of albumin replacement on the measurements will be evaluated by calculating the ECHO findings, blood gas parameters and SOFA score of the study patients before and after albumin replacement.
