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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study follows 600 people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and related conditions over 1 to 10 years. Researchers collect data from routine clinical exams, brain imaging, movement analysis, and blood tests. They use statistical tools and artificial intelligence to search for markers that could predict how these diseases progress and help with early diagnosis.

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 successful, this study could identify early warning signs of neurodegenerative diseases, helping doctors diagnose and predict their course sooner.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment test. It may not produce clear markers, and findings from this group may not apply to everyone with these diseases.
