What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence algorithm, called EchoNet-LVH, can help identify patients who may have cardiac amyloidosis — a rare but serious condition where abnormal protein builds up in the heart. The AI analyzes routine echocardiograms for subtle signs that might be overlooked. People flagged by the algorithm are referred to a specialty clinic for further evaluation. The goal is to see if AI-guided screening leads to more new diagnoses of this underrecognized disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
an AI algorithm called EchoNet-LVH that analyzes echocardiograms to flag signs of cardiac amyloidosis
What this could lead to
If successful, this AI tool could help doctors catch a rare but serious heart condition earlier, potentially improving treatment and outcomes.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and only includes patients already flagged by the algorithm, so results may not apply to broader populations. The AI may also produce false alarms.
