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.

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

This study looks at 180 non-diabetic adults with early coronary artery disease to see if a measure called the triglyceride-glucose index is linked to how many arteries are blocked. Participants will have a standard heart imaging test (angiogram) to map their artery disease. The goal is to find a simple way to identify higher-risk patients who might need closer monitoring.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better predict heart disease severity in non-diabetic patients using a simple blood test.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct changes in patient care, and results might not apply to all populations.
