What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study aims to find epigenetic markers in the blood that could predict whether a patient with sepsis will develop the more dangerous septic shock. Researchers will take blood samples from 25 male patients after major digestive cancer surgery who develop sepsis. By comparing markers between those who worsen and those who don't, they hope to identify early warning signs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify which sepsis patients are at risk of worsening to septic shock, allowing earlier and more targeted treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 25 male patients after specific surgeries, so results may not apply to all sepsis patients and may not lead to a practical test.
