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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study explores whether people with decompensated cirrhosis can receive acute medical care in their own homes instead of a hospital. Participants use remote monitoring devices, lab services, and virtual check-ins from a care team. The goal is to understand patient expectations, barriers, and whether this approach improves recovery and reduces repeat hospital visits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Hospital at Home program — home remote monitoring, lab services, and in-person/virtual care by a medical team
What this could lead to
If it works, this model could offer a safe, patient-preferred alternative to hospitalization for people with advanced liver disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on feasibility and patient perspectives, not on proving clinical outcomes. Home care may not be suitable for all patients.

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

About 30 people

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

Started
