A Study to Learn About How Safe BAY 3389934 is, Its Suitable Dose, and How it Affects the Participants With Sepsis Induced Coagulopathy
What this study is about
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have sepsis induced coagulopathy. Sepsis happens when bacteria and their toxins spread in the blood, causing an infection. To overcome the infection the body responds activating the immune system, sometimes this immune response is too active and causes uncontrolled blood clot formation, also called sepsis-induced coagulopathy.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have sepsis induced coagulopathy. Sepsis happens when bacteria and their toxins spread in the blood, causing an infection. To overcome the infection the body responds activating the immune system, sometimes this immune response is too active and causes uncontrolled blood clot formation, also called sepsis-induced coagulopathy. Sepsis coagulopathy damages blood vessels and organs and leads to low platelet levels in the body. In severe cases, it can even lead to death. The main purpose of this first in patient study is to learn about how safe BAY 3389934 is, its suitable dose, and how it affects the participants with sepsis induced coagulopathy. For this study, researchers will enroll people receiving treatment for sepsis induced coagulopathy in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU). For this, the researchers will collect the number of participants with medical problems during and after receiving BAY 3389934. These medical problems are also known as "adverse events". Doctors keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study treatments. Participants will be divided into 2 groups. The first group will receive the lowest starting dose of BAY3389934. The researcher will carefully monitor how the participant responds to the medication and may adjust the dose, either increasing or decreasing it based on the safety and the tolerability of the drug. If no serious side effects are reported from the first group, the second group will receive higher dose of BAY3389934. Each participant will be in the study for around 28 days.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Participant must be ≥ 18 and ≤ 85 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Participants with diagnosed sepsis according to sepsis-3 criteria. Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.
- participants with suspected or documented origin of infection.
- Participants with coagulopathy defined by at least one of the following within 24 hours prior start of study intervention: INR ≥1.40, platelet count in the range of ≥ 30,000/mm3 to \< 150,000/mm3 OR greater than 30% decrease in platelets in 24 hours without other known etiology. The platelet count after decrease should not be \< 30,000/mm3.
- Participants must be receiving treatment in an ICU.
- Informed consent of capable participant or, in case of participant being incapable of giving informed consent, consent for study inclusion will be sought according to applicable laws and regulations.
Exclusion criteria
- Clinically significant active bleeding; known bleeding disorder, history of major traumatic or non-traumatic bleeding (intracranial, retroperitoneal, intraocular) or clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within last 6 months.
- Low platelets level or abnormal coagulation status due to any other reason than sepsis.
- Participants with indication for therapeutic dose of: anticoagulation (heparin, argatroban, vitamin K antagonists/warfarin, dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban), oral antiplatelet agents (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, ticlopidine, prasugrel) except low dose (≤100mg) acetyl salicylic acid (ASA), digoxin, metformin
- Participants with:
- Uncontrolled malignancy requiring ongoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy within the past 6 months with the exception of: low-risk localized prostate cancer (Gleason score is equal to or less than 6 AND Prostate- Specific Antigen is below 10 ng/mL); or cervical carcinoma in situ; or ductal carcinoma in situ; or adequately treated non-metastatic squamous cell skin carcinoma; or adequately treated basal cell skin carcinoma. Patients with breast or prostate cancer receiving single endocrine (hormonal) therapy are eligible if all other cancer-directed treatments were completed more than 6 months prior to screening
- Any hematological malignancy
- Any active or prior malignancy involving the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord), including primary tumors or metastases.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Chronic liver disease Child-Pugh Class C.
- Participants experienced major surgery or major trauma (intrathoracic, intra-abdominal, pelvic or femur) or surgery/trauma in any other area with potentially clinically significant consequences due to bleeding within 28 days before study drug administration.
- Participants experienced neurotrauma or neurosurgery (brain, spine) or orthopedic surgery in spine within 6 months before study drug administration
Where
- Aurora, Colorado

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
