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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This trial tests whether a blood-filtering device called Efferon CT can help people with cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening complication of a heart attack. Cardiogenic shock triggers a massive inflammatory response that can damage organs. The device aims to remove inflammatory molecules from the blood. The study will compare recovery times and outcomes between patients who receive this therapy and those who do not.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Efferon CT, a blood-filtering device that removes inflammatory molecules from the blood
What this could lead to
If it works, this blood-filtering approach could offer a new way to help people survive cardiogenic shock after a heart attack by reducing dangerous inflammation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and the device may not improve recovery or could carry risks like bleeding or infection. Results may not apply to all patients.
