DigiSep trial achieves next milestone: Over 200 sepsis patients now included
About a year ago, the recruitment phase of the trial "DigiSep - Optimization of sepsis therapy based on patient-specific digital precision diagnostics" started. Now the project, led by the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the University Hospital Essen, has reached another important
milestone: since mid-March 2023, half of the planned 410 trial patients have been recruited. Only in February, 43 patients were added, so that the recruitment target can be reached as planned in summer 2023.

DISQVER STEP 1
Step 1: Sample collection. For pathogen identification with DISQVER, a single blood sample is sufficient. (Image source: Noscendo)
DISQVER STEP 2
Step 2: Sample preparation. In the laboratory, the blood samples are prepared for sequencing. (Image source: Noscendo)
DISQVER STEP 3
Step 3: Sequencing. The cell-free DNA in the blood sample is analyzed and the results are compiled in a sequencing file. (Image source: Noscendo)
DISQVER STEP 4
Step 4: Bioinformatics evaluation. Algorithms distinguish human from microbial DNA. Microbial DNA is matched against a reference database containing over 16,000 microbes – including more than 1,500 described pathogens. Bacteria, DNA viruses, parasites and fungi can thus be detected.

DISQVER STEP 5
Step 5: Communication of results. The DISQVER evaluation is digitally available to the clinic and laboratory with one click – at the latest 24 hours after receipt in the laboratory. (Image source: Noscendo)
