Can plasma repair Sepsis-Damaged blood vessels? new trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07160426
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Sepsis damages the protective lining of blood vessels, leading to organ failure and death. This study tests whether giving fresh frozen plasma—either as short infusions or continuously—can repair that lining better than a placebo fluid. About 45 adults with sepsis in the ICU will participate, and researchers will measure blood markers and track organ support needs and survival for up to 90 days.
