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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 tests a special camera that takes super-detailed pictures of the back of the eye (the retina). The goal is to see if this technology can find eye diseases earlier than standard methods. Up to 1,000 people aged 12 and older, with or without eye disease, will have their eyes imaged and compared.

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 imaging technique could help doctors detect retinal diseases earlier and monitor them more closely.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate clinical changes, and the technology is still being tested.

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