Scientists hunt for clues to deadly sepsis complication in european patients
NCT ID NCT06986798
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined 150 adults with sepsis in the ICU to find blood markers that signal when the condition turns into a dangerous clotting problem called DIC. Researchers collected blood samples and hospital data over up to 56 days, but did not test any new treatments. The goal is to better understand how and why DIC develops in sepsis patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must be 18 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. * Participants with diagnosed sepsis according to sepsis-3 definition. * Participants with documented suspected origin of infection. * Informed consent of capable participant or, in case of participant being incapable of giving informed consent, consent for study inclusion will be sought according to applicable laws and regulations. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients deferred from other Intensive Care Units (ICUs). * Patients longer than 24 hours on ICU. * Known coagulation disorder. * Ongoing active clinically significant bleeding. * Participants experienced trauma or major surgery (within 4 weeks). * Active malignancy. * Decompensated liver impairment Child-Pugh Class C. * Moribund patients not expected to survive 24 hours (clinical decision). * Ongoing therapeutic anticoagulation (prophylactic dose of Unfractionated Heparin \[UFH\]/Low Molecular Weight Heparin \[LMWH\] is allowed) or antiplatelet therapy (except low dose \[≤100 mg\] acetyl salicylic acid \[ASA\]). If previously named treatment can be stopped the participants will be eligible if a "wash out"-time of five half-lives is applied before start of study. * Patients who have received any investigational drug involving pharmacological interventions, or biological or cell therapy interventions or prohibited therapy within 28 days or five half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening/baseline. * Any reason that would make participation unadvisable, at the discretion of the investigator.
