Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is basic science evidence that GM-CSF reconstructs cellular immunity in septic patients. In this prospective, randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we investigate whether this can be achieved in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.
