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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study tested a device called Liana that helps critically ill patients on breathing machines sit up and stand. The goal was to see if using the device allows patients to reach a higher level of mobility (like standing) more often during their ICU stay. Forty adult patients in the ICU who needed a ventilator took part. The study also looked at whether the device eases the workload for healthcare staff and improves patients' muscle strength and recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Sit/stand stabilizer device (Liana)
What this could lead to
If it works, this device could help critically ill patients regain mobility faster and reduce muscle weakness during ICU stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all ICU patients. The device may not significantly improve outcomes or could be difficult to use in practice.
