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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers are testing a noninvasive wearable sensor patch that uses near-infrared light to continuously measure tissue oxygen and blood flow in people hospitalized with cardiogenic shock after a heart attack or heart failure. Up to 20 adults in a cardiac intensive care unit wear the patches on their chest and arm for about one to three days while receiving standard care. The study compares the patch's readings with standard heart and blood tests to see if the device works and whether it can detect worsening shock earlier.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a noninvasive wearable sensor patch that uses near-infrared spectroscopy and photoplethysmography to measure tissue oxygen and blood flow
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give doctors an earlier warning when a heart patient's circulation is getting worse, possibly before standard monitors show it.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study with 20 patients at one hospital. The sensor may not reliably match standard measurements, and it is not yet used to make treatment decisions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Acutely decompensated symptomatic heart failure (HF) documented by: (a) symptoms of HF requiring current treatment; (b) Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) stage B, C, or D; and (c) hospital admission with HF as the primary or secondary diagnosis; OR acute myocardial infarction (MI) patient undergoing coronary angiography * Admitted to the intensive care unit and currently in SCAI stage B, C, or D * Age 18 years or older * Weight greater than 40 kg Exclusion Criteria: * Prior known severe allergy to medical-grade adhesive or tape (self-reported) * Currently participating in an investigational drug or device study that would interfere with the conduct or results of this study. Trials requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational but have since become commercially available are not considered investigational. * The investigator believes the participant is not an appropriate candidate for the study
