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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looked at 85 older adults in Spain to see if ultrasound scans and blood tests can help measure muscle quality and frailty. Some participants did a 16-week exercise program. The goal was to find better ways to track frailty and muscle loss without complicated procedures.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Physical exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better, simpler ways to assess frailty and muscle health in older adults using ultrasound and blood tests.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to all older adults or lead to a standard test.
