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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published

Summary

People with peripheral artery disease often need procedures that thread a catheter through an artery in the groin. Doctors usually use a closure device to seal the puncture, but manual pressure may work just as well and cost less. This pilot study tests whether 30 patients can safely walk five hours after manual compression, watching for bleeding or other problems at the puncture site.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
manual compression of the puncture point after a leg artery procedure
What this could lead to
If it works, this could let patients walk sooner after leg artery procedures and avoid the cost and hardware of closure devices.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study of 30 people, so it can only show whether the approach is feasible and safe enough to study further. Bleeding or bruising at the puncture site could still occur and require a longer hospital stay.
