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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether a special MRI coil, normally used for horses, can capture images of the human knee at different bending angles. The goal is to see how the bones slide and roll during movement, which is hard to observe with standard MRI that only scans a straight leg. Healthy adults aged 18 to 40 will have their knees scanned at various degrees of flexion. The findings could lead to a better understanding of knee mechanics and inform future treatments.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
MRI scan of the knee at different angles of flexion using a veterinary MRI coil
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve understanding of how the knee moves, potentially aiding future treatments for knee injuries or arthritis.
What could go wrong
This is a small exploratory study in healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to people with knee problems. The veterinary coil may not work as expected in humans.

Study facts

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 36 people

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