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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a fall prevention model for older veterans who receive primary care. Veterans who are at risk of falling will be offered tailored support, such as physical therapy, medication review, or home safety changes. The goal is to see if this proactive approach is practical and can reduce fall-related injuries, helping veterans age comfortably at home.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A fall prevention program combining physical therapy, medication review, and home safety modifications
What this could lead to
If successful, this model could reduce fall-related injuries and help older veterans live safely at home longer.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, focusing on feasibility, so it may not prove the model reduces falls. Individual responses to interventions may vary.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 108 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Feb 2025

Expected to finish

Sep 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A government agency

The lead sponsor is a US federal agency other than the NIH.

Who can take part

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Receives care within GeriPACT, or general PACT as needed (Aim 1); Receives care within general PACT (standard VHA primary care) (Aim 2) * Screens positive for increased fall risk (answers "yes" to any of 3 screening questions) * Positive screen on at least two fall risk factor assessments (Aim 1); Positive screen on at least one fall risk factor assessment (Aim 2) * Access to telehealth * Availability of an additional adult (e.g., caregiver or family member) to be present during the physical assessment Exclusion Criteria: * Life expectancy \<12 months, as determined by PCP * Neurological diagnosis (e.g., cerebral vascular accident, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease) * Moderate cognitive impairment (\<13 on telephone Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BLIND) or \<18 on MoCA Full administered during clinic visit in the previous 3 months) * Unstable condition that precludes safe participation in structured exercise (e.g., recent deep vein thrombosis) if expected fall risk factor is physical, as determined by PCP or chart review * Participation in any intervention components of the FRIM model, with the intention of reducing a FRIM fall risk factor, within the past 2 months * Currently using a wheelchair for mobilization * If it is in the opinion of the study staff that the participant would be at an increased suicide risk due to study procedures
