ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06503016
What this study is testing
What is Phosphocreatine?
Phosphocreatine is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for hypotension.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Unexpected deaths and unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions are common during hospital stay and are often preceded by warning abnormalities in patients' vital signs. These abnormalities trigger Medical Emergency Team (MET) activation and up to 15% of patients visited by the MET is admitted to the ICU with an overall hospital stay after the MET intervention of approximately 2 weeks.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
