Sepsis heart damage study pulled before it even started
NCT ID NCT05148117
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to explore whether problems with mitochondria—the energy powerhouses in cells—play a role in causing heart damage in people with sepsis. Researchers planned to compare blood samples from sepsis patients and healthy volunteers to look for links between mitochondrial function and inflammation. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
