The APS Phenotyping Study
NCT06521502 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of the observational APS phenotyping study is to better understand risk factors, potential biomarkers, length and severity of illness, and recovery for adults with ARDS, pneumonia, and/ or sepsis. This study will also generate a biobank of specimens collected from these patients that will be available to investigators for future studies of ARDS, sepsis, and/or pneumonia.
Interventions
- OTHER Blood collection
- OTHER Urine Collection
- OTHER Nasal, oral, and rectal swabs
- OTHER Stool collection
- OTHER Heat Moisture Exchange Filter collection

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06521502
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06521502 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 4,000 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which has 695 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Sepsis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Blood collection is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06521502 reports 20 study locations spanning 11 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Colorado, Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
