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

Summary

This study looks at how different meals affect energy use and appetite in men with high spinal cord injury (T6 and above) compared to able-bodied men. Participants will eat standardized meals and have their metabolism measured. The goal is to understand how food impacts cardiovascular and metabolic health in this group.

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 study could help design better dietary guidelines for people with spinal cord injury to improve metabolic and heart health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 56 men. It measures short-term effects, not long-term outcomes, so results may not lead to direct clinical changes.

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

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 56 people

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

Started

Mar 2026

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Sex

Male participants only

Healthy volunteers

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
