NCT ID NCT05229744

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
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looked at whether people born with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection who have hearing loss or balance problems also have a condition called endolymphatic hydrops (fluid buildup in the inner ear). Researchers used a special MRI scan with a contrast dye to check for this fluid. The study was small and ended early, but it may help clarify the link between congenital CMV and inner ear issues.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Gadovist® (gadobutrol, a contrast agent for MRI)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors understand why some people with congenital CMV develop hearing loss or balance problems, potentially guiding future treatments.
What could go wrong
This was a small, terminated study with only 18 participants, so results may be limited and not apply to everyone. MRI contrast agents carry a small risk of allergic reaction or kidney issues.
