NCT ID NCT07353970

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study will follow 300 adults with severe infections in the ICU to see how levels of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)—natural molecules that help stop inflammation—change over time. Researchers will use blood samples already collected during routine care, so no extra tests or treatments are given. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and improve care.

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 study could help doctors identify high-risk patients with severe infections earlier, potentially guiding more personalized care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new drug or therapy, and results may not lead to immediate changes in patient care.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adult ICU patients with severe infection or sepsis admitted to a tertiary academic medical center. Both male and female patients aged 18 years or older are eligible. All participants receive standard clinical care, and no experimental treatments are provided within this study.

18 to 100 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) * Diagnosis of severe infection or sepsis, as determined by the treating physician according to current clinical criteria * Ability to obtain blood samples as part of routine clinical care within 24-48 hours after ICU admission * Informed consent provided by the patient or legally authorized representative (when applicable) Exclusion Criteria: * Known pregnancy * Known immunosuppressive disease (e.g., hematologic malignancy, advanced HIV infection) * Use of long-term immunosuppressive therapy or systemic corticosteroids prior to ICU admission * Pre-existing end-stage disease with expected survival \< 28 days (e.g., end-stage cancer receiving palliative care) * Enrollment in interventional clinical trials that may influence immune or inflammatory responses * Refusal of informed consent by the patient or legal representative * Patients in whom blood sampling or follow-up is not feasible (e.g., expected transfer, withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment within 24 hours)
