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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether a new, more powerful 7 Tesla MRI can better detect scarring and swelling in the heart muscle of people with cardiomyopathy. Researchers will scan 13 adults aged 20-70 to see if the higher-resolution images improve diagnosis. The goal is to see if this advanced MRI is feasible and useful for clinical care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
7 Tesla MRI device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more accurate diagnosis of heart muscle diseases using advanced MRI technology.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 13 participants. The new MRI may not prove better than standard scans, and results may not apply to all patients.
