Diabetes drug tested as sepsis treatment
NCT ID NCT07206160
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will observe 64 adults with sepsis to see if dapagliflozin, a diabetes medicine, reduces inflammation and improves organ function. Researchers will measure inflammatory markers and track severity of illness and survival. The goal is to learn if this drug could be a helpful addition to standard sepsis care.
