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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

ARDS is a life-threatening lung condition that requires breathing support. Researchers are using NMR-based metabolomics to compare the metabolic profiles in blood serum from patients with mild, moderate, and severe ARDS against healthy volunteers. The study enrolls 120 critically ill adults with mild ARDS and aims to identify biomarkers that track disease progression and link to the type of infection causing the condition.

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 could lead to blood-based biomarkers that help doctors gauge ARDS severity and predict how the condition will progress.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with a modest number of patients, so any biomarker patterns may not hold up in larger, more diverse groups or translate into better care.
