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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is testing a new bone graft material called Induce XT in 60 people undergoing foot or ankle fusion surgery. The graft is made from processed human bone and is meant to help the bones heal together. Participants will be followed for 12 months with X-rays, CT scans, and questionnaires to see how well the bone fuses and how their recovery goes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Induce XT (a mixture of processed human cortical and cancellous bone particles)
What this could lead to
If it works, Induce XT could provide a safer, more effective bone graft option for foot and ankle fusion surgeries, reducing the need for harvesting the patient's own bone.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 60 participants and no comparison group, so results may not be conclusive. The bone graft may not fuse as well as existing options, and there are standard surgical risks like infection or non-union.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients meeting all of the following criteria will be considered eligible for study participation: 1. Patient has a bone defect in the hindfoot or ankle; and 2.
