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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a laser-based device called AccuMeasure can measure the size of polyps and ulcers during gastrointestinal endoscopy more accurately than traditional methods like visual estimation or using tools as references. Researchers will compare AccuMeasure's readings to standard scoring systems and other measurement techniques in about 3,000 adults undergoing endoscopy. The goal is to see if this technology provides more reliable and consistent measurements, which could improve how doctors assess and monitor conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
AccuMeasure, a laser-based measurement device used during endoscopy
What this could lead to
If proven accurate, this laser tool could make endoscopic measurements more precise, improving disease monitoring and treatment decisions for conditions like Crohn's disease and colon polyps.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't prove the device improves patient outcomes. Accuracy may vary in real-world use, and the device might not be widely adopted.
