Bluejay Diagnostics said it saw positive results from the primary analysis of a clinical study investigating the role of interleukin-6 in patients diagnosed with sepsis and septic shock.

The company said the primary analysis of the study showed that IL-6 levels within 24 hours of sepsis or septic shock diagnosis and admission to the intensive care unit may predict patient mortality out to 28 days.

A secondary outcome of the study showed that IL-6 levels within 24 hours of sepsis or septic shock diagnosis and admission to the ICU is a predictor of patient mortality during their hospitalization. Other secondary outcomes showed that lactate and sequential organ failure assessment, standard clinical tests used for sepsis and septic shock patients, weren't predictors of patient mortality out to 28 days.

Bluejay Diagnostics is planning to begin its next clinical study in the third quarter of 2024. If the results are positive, the company intends to use the study as support in a 510(k) application to the Food and Drug Administration in 2025.
