Study summary

Objective: To investigate the correlation between plasma levels of DDX17 and GSDMD with vascular endothelial dysfunction and prognosis of in sepsis patients.

Design: A single center, prospective, observational research. Participants: Patients with sepsis who are hospitalized to Southeast University Affiliated Zhongda Hospital and meet the diagnostic criteria for sepsis 3.0.

Inclusion criteria:1. There is a potential or clear infection; 2. Sequential organ failure score (SOFA score) increases by more than or equal to 2 points compared to the baseline value; 3. Sign informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria: Age\<18 years old or>80 years old, pregnant women, tumor patients, including diseases that may be complicated with vascular endothelial damage: hypertension, acute and chronic hepatitis (hepatitis caused by virus), liver cirrhosis, PT prolongation after liver transplantation, acute myocardial infarction, chronic tubular nephritis, chronic renal insufficiency/maintenance hemodialysis, renal transplantation, interstitial pneumonia, acute pancreatitis, active phase of systemic lupus erythematosus Ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, HELLP syndrome.

Primary outcome: 28-day mortality. Secondary outcome: Plasma levels of DDX17 and GSDMD, and their correlation with vascular endothelial injury, severity, and prognosis in sepsis patients.

Read the detailed description

Data collection:Recording the population information, including name, sex, BMI, and past history. Recording disease-related information's, including diagnosis, infection site, pathogens, organ dysfunction, SOFA and APACHE II scores. Recording treatment measures of patients, including whether to use vasopressor, invasive mechanical ventilation, and continuous renal replacement therapy. Recording laboratory examination results, including leukocyte count, PCT and hs-CRP on D1, D3 and D7, respectively. All patients were followed up to 28 days. Patients were distributed to survival group and non-survival group according to the 28-day survival.

Sample collection: 3 mL of the patient's peripheral blood were drawn on Day1, 3, and 7, and the plasma was centrifuged and kept at -80 °C. ELISA content detection of DDX17 and GSDMD.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2023; primary completion for Dec 2025, 27 months later.

Of 408 non-industry observational studies under Sepsis, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 60. This study's planned 27 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 452 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 57.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 6, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
