NCT ID NCT07354841

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 new plastic tubes (cannulas) used to connect patients to a heart-lung machine during heart surgery. The trial has two parts: first, a small safety check, then a larger comparison with existing tubes. About 80 adults having planned heart surgery will take part to see if the new tubes are as safe and work as well as current ones.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
PVC arterial and venous cannulas (medical devices used during heart-lung bypass)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safe and effective alternative cannula for use during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, small trial (80 participants) testing a device, not a new drug. The results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and device-related complications like clotting or bleeding are possible.
