Massive registry launched to see if Blood-Filtering device helps sickest patients
NCT ID NCT05146336
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This registry is tracking 3,000 critically ill patients who receive the CytoSorb blood-filtering device in real-world intensive care settings. The goal is to collect data on how the device is used and whether it relates to patient survival. It covers many conditions like sepsis, shock, and organ failure, but does not test the device against a control group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CytoSorb device (a blood-filtering cartridge used in intensive care)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors understand when and how to best use CytoSorb to improve survival in critically ill patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the device works. Results may be influenced by differences in patient care.
