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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looks at how growth hormone affects beta-cells, which make insulin, in people with a family history of type 2 diabetes. Researchers will compare 30 obese adults with and without a family history of diabetes. The goal is to better understand why some people develop diabetes, not to test a new treatment.

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 research could point toward new ways to predict or prevent type 2 diabetes in people with a family history.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study (30 participants) that aims to understand biology, not test a treatment. Results may not lead to direct medical changes.

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