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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 tested a home-based digital exercise program for older adults who survived sepsis. 21 participants were assigned to either an app-guided exercise routine or standard care. The goal was to see if the program could improve physical function and be safe to use at home.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
app-based exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a convenient way for older sepsis survivors to improve their physical function from home.
What could go wrong
This was a very small pilot study with only 21 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires using an app and devices, which may be challenging for some.
