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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 study tested whether using a bronchoscope (a thin tube with a camera) to clean the lungs could help people who develop pneumonia and swallowing problems after a stroke. 50 patients were split into two groups: one received standard care, and the other also got 1-2 bronchoscopy treatments. Researchers measured breathing, infection levels, and swallowing ability to see if the procedure improved outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bronchoscopy suction and lavage (a procedure using a thin, flexible tube to clean the airways)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better way to treat pneumonia and swallowing difficulties after a stroke, potentially speeding recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure itself carries risks like bleeding or infection.
