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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 will give the nasal flu vaccine to 25 people who are already scheduled to have their tonsils or adenoids removed for sleep apnea. Researchers will then study the removed tissue to see how the vaccine affects immune cells near the nose. The goal is to better understand how nasal vaccines work, since they don't cause the same blood changes as shots.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Live attenuated influenza vaccine (nasal spray)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help design better nasal vaccines that boost immunity right where the flu enters the body.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study (25 people) focused on understanding immune responses, not on treating or preventing disease. Results may not apply to the general population.
