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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares two ways of feeding severe stroke patients through a tube: the standard method of continuous feeding around the clock versus a new approach of feeding only during daytime hours. Researchers will enroll 60 patients to see if the daytime-only schedule improves survival, neurological function, and nutrition over 90 days. The goal is to find out if aligning feeding with the body's natural day-night rhythm leads to better outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
intermittent enteral feeding (tube feeding during daytime only)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better feeding schedule for severe stroke patients, potentially improving survival and recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early exploratory study with only 60 participants, so results may not be conclusive or apply to all stroke patients. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so any benefit is likely modest.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

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