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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 study tests a computer tool called eAMS-Eco that helps doctors choose asthma inhalers with a lower carbon footprint. The tool adds environmental information to existing asthma treatment recommendations. Researchers will see if using this tool in four clinics reduces inhaler-related carbon emissions and costs, while keeping asthma control stable. About 95 patients and their doctors are taking part.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Climate-Conscious Clinical Decision Support System for Asthma Management (eAMS-Eco)
What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help doctors prescribe inhalers that are better for the environment while maintaining good asthma control, potentially reducing healthcare's carbon footprint.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 95 participants across four clinics. It focuses on prescribing behavior, not direct health outcomes, so the impact on patient health or the environment may be limited or not generalizable.
