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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This trial investigates whether a test version of tamsulosin 0.4 mg prolonged-release tablets works the same as the reference product (Omnic Ocas) in healthy male volunteers. Thirty-four men aged 18 to 55 will receive single doses of each tablet under fasted conditions in a crossover design. The study measures how the drug is absorbed and processed by the body to determine bioequivalence.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
tamsulosin
What this could lead to
If the test tablet is shown to be bioequivalent, it could offer a more affordable alternative to the reference product for treating enlarged prostate symptoms.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy volunteers, not patients. Results may not predict real-world effectiveness or safety in the intended population.
