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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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 new finger prick device that can detect Toxoplasma infection from a drop of blood. Researchers will compare the device's results to a standard lab test in 210 adults, including pregnant women. The goal is to see if the finger prick test is accurate and easy to use, which could make testing faster and more convenient.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Toxoplasma ICT IgG-IgM BK finger prick test device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a quick, easy finger prick test for Toxoplasma infection, making diagnosis more accessible.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 210 participants. The new test may not match the accuracy of the standard lab test, and results may not apply to all populations.
