ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the REsuscitation of SEpsis Trial (RESET), is studying the best type of fluid to give children with sepsis—a serious infection that can affect how well their organs work. The trial compares three fluids used to help children recover: normal saline (a saltwater solution), Ringer’s lactate (a fluid with salts and minerals), and Octaplas LG, a specially processed plasma product that contains important proteins and is carefully sterilized to reduce infection risk. Researchers want to see if Octaplas LG works better or is as safe as the other fluids in helping children recover from sepsis.

Children between 1 month and 18 years old who are in the pediatric intensive care unit with sepsis and need fluids to support their heart and blood flow may be eligible. If your child joins the study, they will be randomly assigned to receive one of the three fluids alongside standard sepsis treatments like antibiotics and monitoring. They will stay in the study for up to 28 days or until they no longer need intensive care. Participation is voluntary, and choosing not to join will not affect your child’s medical care. This study aims to include about 150 children and could help doctors find better ways to treat sepsis in young patients.
