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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 Mayo Clinic study is testing two new imaging techniques to measure the strength and flexibility of the aorta in people with and without aneurysms. Researchers will use ultrasound and MRI to find areas of high stress in the vessel wall. The goal is to see if these methods are practical for routine use. About 30 adults will take part.

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 could improve how doctors assess aneurysm risk and plan surgeries using better imaging.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on testing imaging methods, not a treatment. It may not lead to direct patient benefits.

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

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Start date

Aug 2015

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients \>18 years of age with ability to provide informed consent. * Patients with either symptomatic or asymptomatic AAA as defined by aortic diameter ≥ 1.5x normal diameter. * Patients with non-aneurysmal aortas who require aortic contrast imaging or echocardiography for preoperative planning or other reason. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with contraindication to IV contrast such as allergy or severe kidney dysfunction. * Patients who do not require contrast imaging or echocardiogram as part of their care plan. * Terminally ill patients, and patients with estimated life expectancy of ≤ 6 months. * Patients unable to tolerate magnetic resonance imaging.
