About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if a blood purification treatment called "Oxiris" works to help adults with septic shock. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) Does Oxiris treatment lower the risk of death or organ failure within the first 7 days? (2) Does Oxiris treatment lower the level of inflammation in the body? Researchers will compare participants who receive Oxiris treatment to a group of participants who receive standard medical care to see if Oxiris helps them recover better.

Participants will:

1. Receive blood purification therapy using the Oxiris filter for up to 3 days while in the intensive care unit (ICU). 2. Have their blood tested at the start of the study and 3 days later to check for inflammation and organ function. 3. Be followed by the research team for about 30 days to check on their health and recovery.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participants must be 19 years of age or older.

Participants must be diagnosed with septic shock (a severe body-wide response to infection that leads to dangerously low blood pressure).

Participants must be in a condition where the medical team has decided that blood purification therapy (like CRRT) is necessary.
