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 Results may not be published yet.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 looks at how families feel about antibiotic use and whether a Garmin smartwatch can track symptoms in children aged 4-17 with common infections like UTIs, tonsillitis, or skin infections. About 300 children from the Royal Children's Hospital Emergency Department will wear the watch during their antibiotic course. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and practical for future research.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Garmin Smartwatch
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that wearable devices are a practical way to monitor children's symptoms during antibiotic treatment, helping design future trials.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, not testing treatment effectiveness. The smartwatch may be uncomfortable or not worn consistently, and results may not apply to all children.

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.
