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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested whether a new 3D ultrasound technique can predict how well patients with pulmonary hypertension will do. Researchers followed 150 patients for six months, collecting heart images and tracking deaths and hospitalizations. The goal was to see if this non-invasive tool could replace risky catheter procedures for identifying patients who need stronger treatment.

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 lead to a non-invasive way to identify high-risk patients who need more aggressive treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only tests a new imaging method, so it cannot directly improve patient outcomes.
