What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tool called EchoNet-LVH can help screen for cardiac amyloidosis, a rare but serious heart condition that is often misdiagnosed. The AI analyzes routine echocardiograms to flag suspicious patterns that might indicate the disease. Researchers will check how often these AI-flagged cases are later confirmed by standard clinical testing, comparing the AI's accuracy to usual care.

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 (EchoNet-LVH) that analyzes echocardiograms to flag suspicious signs of cardiac hypertrophy
What this could lead to
If successful, this AI screening tool could help detect cardiac amyloidosis earlier, allowing patients to start targeted therapies sooner and potentially improve outcomes.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small (500 participants) and focuses on positive predictive value, not long-term patient outcomes. The AI may flag many false positives or miss cases, and results may not generalize to all populations.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 500 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Oct 2024

Expected to finish

Nov 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

22 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients receiving an echocardiogram that is determined to be suspicious by EchoNet-LVH Exclusion Criteria: * Patients that decline consent * Patients receiving an echocardiogram that is determined to be not suspicious by EchoNet-LVH
