NCT ID NCT07795892

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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study asks whether tiny RNA molecules in the blood can signal a higher risk of dangerous heart rhythms in people who have heart failure after a heart attack and use an implanted defibrillator. Researchers collect blood samples from 57 participants and compare RNA patterns between those who do and do not experience a device-treated arrhythmia during remote monitoring. The goal is to find a simple biomarker that could improve how doctors predict and manage arrhythmia risk.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Blood sample analysis for small RNA molecules (microRNAs) as biomarkers
What this could lead to
If certain RNA molecules reliably track dangerous heart rhythms, doctors could use a simple blood test to spot high-risk patients earlier and tailor defibrillator care.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so the findings may not apply broadly. The RNA markers might not clearly separate who will have dangerous rhythms, and the results need confirmation in larger trials.
