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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers at Nantes University Hospital are studying how joint damage from bleeding affects walking in adults with moderate hemophilia. About 24 participants will have their gait measured with motion capture and force platforms during a single visit. The study also collects clinical, imaging, and blood data to build a full picture of joint health. The goal is to understand whether moderate hemophilia leads to subtle walking problems that standard care might miss.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
quantified gait analysis
What this could lead to
If the study finds links between joint damage and walking problems, it could help doctors decide whether moderate hemophilia needs closer monitoring or earlier treatment.
What could go wrong
The study is small and observational, so it cannot prove cause and effect. It may not capture enough detail to change care, and results may not apply to children or people with severe hemophilia.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Have moderate Hemophilia A or B. * Have understood the protocol and signed its consent to participate. * Patient able to perform a walking test. * Patient affiliated to a social security system Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women * Minor * Majors under guardianship or curatorship * Refusal to participate; * Amputee of a lower limb * Need for technical walking assistance (walking sticks, walker,...). * Extensive dermatitis of the lower limbs (need for sensor installation for gait analysis); * Known NYHA (New York Heart Association) grade III or IV heart failure (resting dyspnea); * Unstable angina or myocardial infarction within three months of inclusion * Known severe respiratory disease; * Parkinson's disease, hemiplegia or paraplegia * Patient unable to understand the objectives or instructions of the study * Intercurrent pathology likely to modify walking abilities
