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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether placing a biodegradable patch soaked with the drug amiodarone on the heart during surgery can prevent atrial fibrillation (a common irregular heartbeat) afterward. About 500 adults having elective heart surgery will be randomly assigned to get either the amiodarone patch or a plain saline patch. The goal is to see if the drug patch reduces the number of patients who develop atrial fibrillation while in the hospital.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
amiodarone
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, targeted way to prevent dangerous heart rhythm problems after cardiac surgery, reducing complications and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is still an early-phase trial with 500 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The patch could cause side effects like inflammation or bleeding, and it may not reduce AF as hoped.
