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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 the safety and performance of a new implantable defibrillator (the CorSky ICD) in 52 people who need one for heart failure or dangerous fast heart rhythms. Participants will be followed for 12 months to check for device-related problems. The device is programmed to each person's medical needs.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
CorSky ICD or CRT-D device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new, safe option for implantable defibrillators that help control dangerous heart rhythms in people with heart failure.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (52 people) focused only on safety and device function. It does not test whether the device improves health outcomes, and device-related complications are possible.
