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.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether intestinal ultrasound can accurately detect pouchitis—inflammation of the internal pouch created after ulcerative colitis surgery. Adults who have had this surgery will receive an ultrasound, and the results will be compared to the standard pouchoscopy with biopsy. If ultrasound proves reliable, it could offer a less invasive way to monitor pouch health.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Intestinal ultrasound (a non-invasive imaging test using sound waves to look at the pouch)
What this could lead to
If accurate, this could offer a non-invasive, radiation-free alternative to pouchoscopy for monitoring pouch health after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, and ultrasound may not be as precise as the current gold standard. It may not replace biopsy-based diagnosis.
