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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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.

Summary

This study is testing a special type of ultrasound, called backscatter quantitative ultrasound (bQUS), to see if it can be used to check on a baby's lungs when the mother is 36 weeks pregnant. The study will involve 16 pregnant women who will have a single 30-minute ultrasound. The goal is to see if this technique is feasible and to gather initial data on fetal lung structure.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to assess fetal lung development before birth.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 16 participants. The technique may not work as expected, and the study may be stopped early if technical issues arise.
