Sepsis clinical trials at University of California Health

7 in progress, 4 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • Stress Hydrocortisone In Pediatric Septic Shock

    open to eligible people ages 1 month to 17 years

    SHIPSS is a multi-institutional, prospective, controlled, randomized, double-blinded interventional trial that will examine the potential benefits and risks of adjunctive hydrocortisone prescribed for children with fluid and vasoactive-inotropic refractory septic shock. It is hypothesized that adjunctive hydrocortisone will significantly reduce the incidence of new and progressive organ dysfunction (primary outcome) and proportion of children with poor outcomes, defined as death or severely impaired health-related quality of life (HRQL) (secondary outcome), as assessed at 28 days following study enrollment (randomization).

  • Prediction of Rehospitalization Following a Sepsis Admission Using a Wearable Biopatch

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this observational study is to learn about the utility of biopatches predicting 30-day readmissions in patients discharged from the hospital with sepsis. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Does the application of a biopatch provide data that can improve prediction of an unplanned 30-day readmission following a hospitalization for sepsis. Participants will be asked to wear a biopatch on their chest for 30-days following hospital discharge or until readmission to the hospital.

  • Role of Transposable Elements in Septic Immune Aging

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this observational study is to learn about how transposable element levels affect the patient outcomes in sepsis. The main questions it aims to answer is: 1. Do transposable elements prematurely age the immune systems of patients with sepsis? 2. Do transposable elements correlate with increased mortality in patients with sepsis in the ICU? 3. Do transposable elements correlate with increased amount of secondary infections in patients with sepsis in the ICU? Participants will have blood drawn from them but will not be subjected to additional interventions.

  • APS Phenotyping Study

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of the observational APS phenotyping study is to better understand risk factors, potential biomarkers, length and severity of illness, and recovery for adults with ARDS, pneumonia, and/ or sepsis. This study will also generate a biobank of specimens collected from these patients that will be available to investigators for future studies of ARDS, sepsis, and/or pneumonia.

  • Polymyxin B Hemoperfusion (PMX) for Endotoxemic Septic Shock in a Randomized, Open-Label Study

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    Prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label study of standard of care plus the PMX cartridge versus standard of care alone in patients with endotoxemic septic shock

  • Sepsis Clinical Decision Support [CDS] Master Enrollment Study Protocol

    Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only

    This protocol will collect real-world data retrospectively from the electronic health record (EHR) as data obtained from the delivery of routine medical care to develop a machine learning (ML)-based Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system for severe sepsis prediction and detection.

  • Smart Discharges for Older Children

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    This study is an observational multi-country cohort study that aims to build algorithms that can identify children between 5 and 16 years of age admitted for proven or suspected sepsis who are at risk of mortality after they are discharged in East Africa. In low- and middle-income countries, about 5% of children discharged after hospitalization for sepsis will die in the weeks after returning home. Doctors and parents are often unaware of this period of vulnerability and are poorly equipped to identify or handle this critical situation. This project builds on past work that developed and evaluated models and the Smart Discharges program to predict, during hospitalization, an individual child's risk of recurrent illness and mortality, as well as to provide additional post-discharge support to at-risk children. Participants will be enrolled from facilities once they are admitted, collecting clinical and social variables. They will then be followed until 6 months post-discharge to understand what happens to them after they return home. This data will be evaluated to identify which variables collected at facilities can be predictive of mortality and recurrent illness after discharge.
