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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial is testing a new rapid urine test called Jiddu that aims to quickly identify urinary tract infections (UTIs) and determine which antibiotics will work best. The study involves 100 adults with neurogenic bladder who use catheters and suspect they have a UTI. Participants provide urine samples that are analyzed using both standard methods and the experimental Jiddu device. The goal is to see if Jiddu can accurately detect UTIs and guide antibiotic treatment, potentially leading to faster and more targeted therapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Jiddu platform, a microfluidic device that rapidly tests urine for bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a faster, more accurate way to diagnose UTIs and choose effective antibiotics, reducing the need for broad-spectrum drugs and improving care for catheter users.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage diagnostic trial with a relatively small sample size. The test's accuracy and clinical utility are not yet proven, and it may not outperform standard culture methods in real-world settings.
