Sepsis, Septic Shock clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Sepsis is a dangerous reaction to infection that harms the body, sometimes leading to septic shock. UCSF investigates how transposable genetic elements might influence recovery from sepsis. Their study looks closely at these elements to see how they might change the aging process in the immune system.

  • 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.
