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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looks at whether a heart protein called BNP, measured in infancy and again in adolescence, can help identify teens at risk for metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Researchers are following 70 teens who were part of a newborn study years ago. The goal is to find an early warning sign so that at-risk children can get help sooner.

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 lead to a simple blood test to identify teenagers at risk for metabolic syndrome early, allowing for preventive measures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study with only 70 participants. It does not test a treatment, and the link between BNP and metabolic syndrome is not yet proven.
