Who could benefit from this research

Could help

Children aged 0-11 years with sepsis-associated organ dysfunction who are treated at participating centers.

Less likely to help

Some children may not experience direct benefit if their sepsis does not match the study’s identified phenotypes or if they are not enrolled.

What this research studies

This grant supports a network of hospitals working together to test personalized treatments for children with sepsis-related organ failure. It builds on PRECISE, a study that identifies immune system differences in septic children and uses rapid diagnostics to tailor therapy. The project aims to move from standard one-size-fits-all treatment toward care guided by each child’s biology, using data from multiple centers in real time. If successful, it could lead to more effective, individualized interventions and better survival and recovery for young patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Potentially better, personalized treatments could improve survival and reduce organ damage in septic children.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work in CPCCRN has shown the feasibility of multi-center pediatric sepsis research and phenotype-guided approaches, with promising signals for personalized care.
