Trial design

Design model

Case-control

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Cytokine Adsorption

    Device

    During treatment with cytokine adsorption cartridge, the patient's blood is passed through these cartridges, which contain substances that can adsorb specific cytokines. Excess cytokines are captured and removed by these substances, and then the cleansed blood is returned to the patient's body.

Treatment groups

60 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Cytokine Adsorption Combined with Standard Treatment Group1 intervention
Group B: Standard Treatment Group0 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes
