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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether a special vibrating vest, worn around the chest, can improve lung function in children aged 6 to 12 with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis — a condition where the airways are permanently widened and clogged with mucus. The vest shakes the chest at high frequency to loosen mucus, which may help children breathe better. Researchers will compare the vest to standard chest physiotherapy by measuring changes in lung function and exercise capacity.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a vibrating vest (high-frequency chest wall oscillation) that shakes the chest to loosen mucus
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective and easier way to clear mucus and improve breathing in children with bronchiectasis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The vest may not work better than standard physiotherapy and could cause discomfort.

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.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
