NCT ID NCT06320236
First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study aims to see if a new tool called Adjust-Unlikely can safely reduce the number of unnecessary CT scans for blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) in emergency department patients. Current testing often leads to scans that expose patients to radiation, cost time and money, and can give false positives. The study will enroll 4,000 adults who are being tested for a blood clot in the lungs to check if Adjust-Unlikely accurately identifies who truly needs imaging.
