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.

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 tests whether text messages can help people who have finished cardiac rehab keep up healthy habits like weight management, physical activity, and taking medications. Researchers will enroll 400 people from groups often left out of heart research. The study compares different levels of text support to find what works best with the least burden.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Text messaging program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple text messages help people keep up healthy habits after cardiac rehab, reducing their risk of future heart problems.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage behavioral study, not a drug trial. The text messages may not be enough to keep people on track long-term, and results may not apply to everyone.

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

Expected to finish

Aug 2030

An estimate. End dates often move.

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.
