NCT ID NCT07255378
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches how doctors use vasopressin, a second blood pressure drug, in adults with septic shock in the ICU. It aims to see if starting it earlier lowers death rates and helps protect kidney function. Researchers will track 1,200 patients to gather real-world data.
