What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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.

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

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 whether people with ALS can start using a breathing machine at home instead of in the hospital. 46 patients were randomly assigned to start either at home with remote monitoring or in the hospital. The goal was to see if home initiation works just as well, measured by how many minutes per day they used the machine.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
non-invasive mechanical ventilation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could allow ALS patients to start breathing support at home instead of being hospitalized, improving comfort and reducing hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 46 participants. The results may not apply to all ALS patients, and home initiation might not work as well for everyone.
