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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested a balloon catheter called Alwide Plus, used to widen the aortic valve before replacing it in people with severe aortic stenosis. 75 patients took part across multiple hospitals in China. The results showed the balloon was safe and effective for this pre-dilation step, helping the new valve be placed correctly.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Alwide Plus balloon catheter
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that the Alwide Plus balloon is a safe and effective tool for preparing the aortic valve before replacement, improving outcomes for patients with severe aortic stenosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not apply to all patients. The balloon is only one part of a complex procedure, and success depends on many factors.
