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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

Researchers are testing an experimental long-acting injectable drug called S-892216-LAI in healthy adults. The trial measures how safe and tolerable the drug is, and how the body absorbs and clears it after one or more doses. Participants receive either the drug or a saline placebo. The goal is to understand the drug's basic behavior in the body before it is tested in patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
S-892216-LAI, an experimental long-acting injectable drug
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a long-acting injectable form of S-892216 that needs fewer doses than daily pills.
What could go wrong
This is a first-in-human Phase 1 trial with 98 healthy volunteers, so researchers are mainly checking safety and blood levels, not whether the drug treats any disease. Many drugs fail at this stage.
