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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This feasibility study tests whether a special image guidance device can help doctors insert a central vein catheter into small children (weighing 5 to 25 kg) on the very first attempt. The device is used by an expert in interventional radiology during real patient care. The goal is to see if the technology makes the procedure safer and more efficient for pediatric patients who need central vein access.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
image guidance device for central vein cannulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could make central line placement safer and faster for young children.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 9 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device is tested by expert operators, which may not reflect real-world use.
