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 Results may not be published yet.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 pilot study tested whether a remote digital exercise program (Vitala app) is feasible and helpful for adults with obesity and poorly controlled asthma. Twenty participants received a tailored exercise prescription and were encouraged to complete 150 minutes of activity per week for 12 weeks. The study measured how many people stuck with the program and whether their asthma control improved.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
remote digital therapeutic exercise program (Vitala app)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a convenient, home-based exercise program to help people with obesity and asthma better manage their symptoms.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (20 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply widely. The program's success depends on participants sticking with it, and it may not improve asthma control for everyone.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
