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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 will use ultra-high-frequency ultrasound to measure the thickness of artery layers in 1,740 adults with prediabetes. The goal is to detect early signs of blood vessel damage that could lead to heart disease. Researchers also aim to establish normal values for healthy adults, providing a reference for earlier diagnosis and prevention.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new, non-invasive way to detect early blood vessel damage in people with prediabetes, helping prevent heart disease and stroke.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any drug or therapy, and the findings may not lead to immediate changes in medical practice.
