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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether teaching people practical ways to avoid everyday chemicals, like those in food packaging and cookware, can lower toxin levels in the body. Researchers will measure bisphenols and PFAS in blood, urine, and reproductive fluids of 60 IVF patients who receive the education, comparing them to similar patients who do not. The goal is to see if simple lifestyle changes reduce chemical exposure and whether that might improve fertility treatment outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Environmental Pollutant Detox education: practical steps to reduce exposure to everyday chemicals like bisphenols and PFAS
What this could lead to
If reducing everyday chemical exposures lowers toxin levels in the body, it could point toward a simple way to support fertility and improve IVF outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study, and it measures chemical levels rather than live birth rates. The education may not lower exposures enough to make a difference, and results may not apply to all IVF patients.

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

Expected to start

Expected to finish

Feb 2028

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.
