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 Results may not be published yet.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 explores whether higher levels of fats in the blood might reduce platelet clumping, which could lower clot risk. Researchers will compare how platelets react with and without lipid nanoemulsions in blood samples from healthy adults aged 40 and older. The goal is to develop a new method to assess clot risk and potentially identify a target for 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
lipid nanoemulsions
What this could lead to
If this works, it could lead to a new blood test that predicts clot risk and possibly a target for preventing blood clots.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early lab study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not translate to real-world clot prevention, and the emulsions are only tested in the lab, not in the body.
