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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study aims to improve MRI scans by testing optimized acquisition sequences. Researchers will compare image quality and comfort between standard and new methods in 720 healthy volunteers and patients. The goal is to make MRI exams faster, clearer, and less stressful.

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 faster, more comfortable MRI scans with clearer images, benefiting both patients and doctors.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage optimization study, not a treatment trial. The new sequences may not significantly improve quality or comfort, and results may not apply to all MRI machines.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 720 people

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

Started

Dec 2020

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Exclusion Criteria for all subjects : * any contraindication to MR examination (active medical device, ferromagnetic foreign body, pregnancy, morbid obesity, claustrophobia, … ), * subject under a measure of legal protection. Exclusion Criteria especially for Healthy Subjects : * to have a pathology in the anatomical area to be imaged * to be employed by the CHRU of Nancy or having the slightest link of subordination with the CHRU of Nancy. Exclusion Criteria especially for Patients : * to have a limited MRI examination time due to a sensitive clinical situation (sedation, unstable hemodynamic state, postoperative).
