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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study compares two ways of teaching medicinal chemistry to pharmacy students: the BOPPPS model, which uses a structured six-step approach with lots of interaction, and traditional lectures. Researchers will look at final exam scores and student satisfaction to see if the BOPPPS method improves learning. The study involves 60 students and is purely educational, with no medical interventions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
BOPPPS six-stage teaching intervention
What this could lead to
If effective, this could point toward a more engaging and effective way to teach medicinal chemistry, potentially improving student learning outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective educational study, not a clinical trial. Results may not generalize to other settings or subjects, and the lack of randomization could introduce bias.

Participants

60 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Sep 2025

Finished

Jan 2026

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.
