Sepsis diagnosis study withdrawn before it began
NCT ID NCT02300415
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study planned to compare a newer blood test (presepsine) with a standard one (lactate) for diagnosing severe sepsis and septic shock in emergency department patients. The goal was to see if presepsine could detect these life-threatening infections more accurately. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
