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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study explores whether regular voice recordings can help predict disease severity in people with laryngotracheal stenosis, a condition that narrows the airway. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to analyze voice changes and see if they can forecast when a dilation procedure is needed. The goal is to develop a remote monitoring tool that reduces unnecessary surgeries and improves patient quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Voice Biomarker Screening Tool
What this could lead to
If successful, this could create a simple, non-invasive way to monitor disease progression and predict when dilation is needed, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with 100 participants. Voice changes may not reliably predict disease severity, and the tool may not work for all patients.
