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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tests a combined blood-filtering system (DPMAS and plasma exchange) in 25 adults with acute-on-chronic liver failure who are either waiting for a liver transplant or not eligible for one. The goal is to see if this artificial liver support can keep patients alive without a transplant for at least 21 days. The treatment aims to remove toxins from the blood and support vital organ function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Double Plasma Molecular Adsorption System (DPMAS) combined with Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a temporary liver support option for patients with acute liver failure, potentially reducing the need for urgent liver transplants.
What could go wrong
This is a small early study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment is supportive, not a cure, and risks include bleeding or infection from the blood-filtering procedure.
