Brief Summary

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

Recent evidence suggests that sepsis continuum includes an immune paralytic state, which may play a significant role in sepsis. Mycobacterium w by its TLR4 agonist activity may help in restoring immunity, thereby improving outcomes in patients with severe sepsis.

In this randomized trial, the investigators propose to evaluate the efficacy of Mw in patients with severe sepsis.
