Could a new blood filter save more lives in septic shock?
NCT ID NCT07539883
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a special blood filter called oXiris helps people with septic shock and kidney failure survive. Researchers will review medical records of 360 adults in the ICU who needed continuous blood filtering. They will compare those who got the oXiris filter with those who got standard filters, focusing on survival and how quickly patients recover.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- oXiris hemofilter
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a better way to filter blood in septic shock, potentially improving survival and reducing organ failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, not a randomized trial, so results may be biased. The oXiris filter is already used, but its survival benefit remains unproven.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (aged 19 or older) diagnosed with septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI) who required continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The treatment group includes approximately 120 patients who received the oXiris® hemofilter at five tertiary academic hospitals in South Korea between March 2021 and August 2025. The control group comprises approximately 240 patients who received standard CRRT filters, identified from the Korea Sepsis Alliance (KSA) registry, a nationwide multicenter sepsis cohort. All subjects are selected based on the availability of electronic medical records (EMR) and registry data that include critical clinical covariates for Target Trial Emulation.
