Overview

Sepsis is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by a dynamic course and a clinical outcome dependent on several factors, and responsible for one in five deaths worldwide. The aim of this trial is to identify new prognostic markers for the progression of sepsis to septic shock, by comparing epigenetic markers between patients who have or have not developed severe forms of sepsis.

The main objective of this preliminary study is to identify prognostic markers for the progression of sepsis to septic shock, i.e. to compare targeted markers between subjects with sepsis who progress to septic shock versus subjects with sepsis who do not progress to septic shock.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
