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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests a wrist-worn device that uses light sensors and AI to estimate blood sugar without piercing the skin. Up to 100 adults with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or prediabetes will wear the device for 15 days while researchers collect data to improve its accuracy. Participants won't see their readings and will continue their usual diabetes care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
KOS Argus Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (noninvasive wrist-worn device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a painless, needle-free way to monitor blood glucose for people with diabetes or prediabetes.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage usability study with no treatment outcomes. The device is still in development and may not be accurate enough for clinical use.

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

Study facts

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

Expected to start

Apr 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Aug 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.
