Who could benefit from this research

Could help

Children aged 0-11 years with sepsis and organ dysfunction across participating centers.

Less likely to help

Children who do not develop sepsis or MODS or who do not meet interventional criteria may not benefit.

What this research studies

This grant supports a collaboration across multiple pediatric centers to run interventional and observational work focused on septic children with organ dysfunction. It builds on the PRECISE study by enabling personalized, immune-based approaches to sepsis in kids and the infrastructure to diagnose phenotypes quickly. The project aims to translate immune profiling into tailored treatment pathways that go beyond standard antibiotics and supportive care. Families of children with severe sepsis could see future therapies better matched to their child’s biology through this work.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, it could lead to personalized treatment plans that improve survival and organ outcomes for children with sepsis-induced MODS.

How similar studies have gone: Prior pediatric sepsis research has shown the potential of phenotype-driven care, with ongoing work suggesting feasibility of personalized approaches.
