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 Results may not be published yet.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 trial tests whether a computer-based training program, called E-motional Training, can help people with dual pathology, meaning they have both a substance use disorder and another mental health condition, better understand social situations. Participants will use the program to practice recognizing emotions, understanding others' perspectives, and interpreting social cues. The study will measure changes in social cognition and look for biological markers that might predict who benefits most.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
E-motional Training (ET) program, a computer-based social cognition rehabilitation tool
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a new therapy to help people with dual pathology better understand social cues, improving their daily interactions and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial, and the program may not improve social cognition for everyone. The study also relies on self-training, which may not suit all participants.

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.
