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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This early study tests a new drug called BMS-986521 in 12 healthy adults. Researchers use PET scans to see how much of the drug reaches and attaches to M4 receptors in the brain. The goal is to learn about the drug's action, not to treat any illness. This is a first step before testing in patients with brain disorders.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
BMS-986521
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help researchers understand how BMS-986521 interacts with brain receptors, potentially guiding future treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's or schizophrenia.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 12 healthy volunteers. It is designed to measure brain activity, not to treat any disease. The drug may not work as expected or could cause side effects.
