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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study is testing whether a new, very powerful 7-Tesla MRI machine can take clearer pictures of the muscles, bones, and head compared to standard 3-Tesla MRI. About 780 healthy volunteers and patients will each have a one-hour scan. The goal is to see if the higher-powered scanner improves image quality for diagnosing conditions like injuries or tumors.

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 better image quality for diagnosing injuries and diseases of the muscles, bones, and brain.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. It only tests image quality, not patient outcomes, and may not lead to immediate clinical use.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 780 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Aug 2023

Expected to finish

Feb 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Consent to undergo a 7T (and, if appropriate a comparative 3T) MRI exam. * For some of the consistent small series: presence of a specific condition of the musculoskeletal system or of the head. This can include traumatic or degenerative changes, e.g., of tendons, cartilage, muscle, peripheral nerves, ligaments, and bones, or in the brain, as well as focal lesions, e.g., tumors. Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to undergo a MRI examination at a field strength of 7 Tesla or at 3 Tesla. * Irregular anatomy and/or tissue properties * Inability to consent - for any reason. * Body mass above 200 kg. * Body mass below 30 kg. * Women: pregnancy. * Age below 18. * Known or suspected non-compliance, drug or alcohol abuse. * Inability to follow the procedures of the study.
