Trial summary

Autophagy plays an important role in the occurrence and development of sepsis. This study aims to explore and verify the key autophagy-related genes in sepsis, then construct their regulatory networks and evaluate their potential diagnostic value, so as to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

About this study

Autophagy plays an important role in the occurrence and development of sepsis. This study aims to explore and verify the key autophagy-related genes in sepsis, then construct their regulatory networks and evaluate their potential diagnostic value, so as to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

Read the detailed description

(1) Sepsis-related datasets GSE65682,GSE134347 and GSE134358 were downloaded from GEO database, and DEmRNA,DElncRNA and DEmiRNA were obtained by differential analysis. (2) Autophagy related genes (ARGs) were obtained from Human Autophagy Database, and ARGs in GSE65682 and GSE134347 were extracted. DEARGs were obtained by differential analysis, and GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed. (3) Sepsis-related genes were obtained by WGCNA analysis, and key DEARGs in sepsis were obtained by intersection with DEARGs, and then transcription factors and ceRNA regulatory network were analyzed. (4) Immune infiltration analysis was used to evaluate the distribution of immune cells in the blood of patients with sepsis, and its correlation with key DEARGs was further analyzed. (5) The diagnostic functions of key DEARGs were analyzed. (6) Peripheral blood samples from sepsis patients and healthy controls were collected and verified by RT-qPCR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Autophagy, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhijie He (13710898290, hezhijie2004@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic Value of Key Autophagy-related Genes in Sepsis (time frame: October 2022). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05524376, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Sep 2022.
