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 This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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.

Summary

This study tests whether using HEPA air purifiers at home can lower blood pressure and inflammation in adults aged 40 and older who live near busy roads and have heart risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes. Sixty-six participants will use either a real purifier or a sham one for several months. The goal is to see if cleaner indoor air can improve heart health.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Portable air purifiers with HEPA filtration
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that simple home air filters help reduce heart disease risk in people living near busy roads.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The sham purifiers help test if benefits are real, but the effect might be small or unclear.
