Blood filters aim to reverse organ failure in septic shock
NCT ID NCT07661303
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether special blood purification devices can help people with septic shock, a life-threatening condition where infection causes organ failure. The trial includes adults aged 18 to 80 with severe septic shock. Depending on their level of endotoxins, patients receive either a device that targets bacterial toxins or one that removes general inflammatory substances. The goal is to see if these treatments improve organ function within 72 hours.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- blood purification devices (Efferon LPS, Toramyxin PMX 20R, Jafron HA 330, CytoSorb)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, these blood purification methods could offer a new way to reduce organ failure and improve survival in septic shock.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not be definitive. The devices are compared against each other, not a placebo, and septic shock is complex with many variables.
