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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 whether 20 sessions of balance-challenge training on a stationary bike can improve safe cycling skills in adults aged 65 and older. Participants will be randomly assigned to the training or a control group, and their cycling ability will be measured on a test course before and after. The goal is to see if the training transfers to real-world cycling and reduces faults.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
stationary bicycle perturbation training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple training program that helps older adults maintain safe cycling skills and prevent falls.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial focused on skill transfer, not a treatment for a disease. Results may not apply to all older adults, and the training may not improve real-world cycling safety.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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

About 127 people

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

Started

Mar 2025

Expected to finish

Mar 2027

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

65 to 100 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
