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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether wearing a portable ECG monitor for 30 days after a heart valve replacement (TAVI) can detect dangerous heart rhythm problems better than the usual 1-2 days of hospital monitoring. 250 patients will be randomly assigned to either the extended monitoring group or standard care. The goal is to see if longer monitoring leads to earlier treatment and fewer complications.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Remote ECG monitoring device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that continuous home ECG monitoring after TAVI catches dangerous heart rhythm issues earlier than standard hospital checks, leading to faster treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (250 people) and is not testing a new drug or cure. The monitoring may find extra issues that don't actually need treatment, causing unnecessary worry or procedures.
