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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a structured plan for slowly removing breathing support (CPAP) from preterm infants born before 30 weeks. The goal is to see if keeping babies on CPAP until a specific age reduces breathing problems and lung damage. About 130 infants will be randomly assigned to either the structured plan or standard care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
structured CPAP weaning protocol
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a better way to wean preterm infants off breathing support, potentially reducing chronic lung disease and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study (130 infants) comparing a structured protocol to standard care. Results may not apply to all hospitals or infants, and the protocol may not reduce weaning failure as hoped.

Participants

About 130 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started
