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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in two different spots in the wrist and hand while a compression band is applied, simulating what happens after a heart procedure. The goal is to understand why accessing the artery at the hand (distal radial) leads to fewer blockages than the traditional wrist approach. Researchers will compare blood flow patterns in 220 adults scheduled for coronary angiography.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If the study confirms better blood flow preservation at the distal site, it could explain why distal radial access lowers the risk of artery blockage and support its wider use.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study measuring blood flow, not testing a treatment. The findings may not change clinical practice or apply to all patients.
