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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This pilot study tests a 3-month program that combines online education, music-paced brisk walking, group discussions, and phone follow-ups for 40 adults with both metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if the program can reduce waist circumference and preserve kidney function compared to usual care. Researchers will also check if the program is practical and acceptable to participants.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
theory-based health behaviour change intervention (online education, music-paced brisk walking, group discussion, and telephone follow-up)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a practical, low-cost program to help people with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease manage their waist size and kidney function better.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral and relies on self-report, which can be unreliable.

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 40 people

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

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.
