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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.

This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether lung ultrasound can detect fluid overload in women with severe preeclampsia, a condition that can lead to life-threatening pulmonary edema. Researchers will scan the lungs of 202 pregnant women at three key times: upon admission, right after delivery, and 7-10 days later. If the ultrasound proves reliable, it could give doctors a quick, non-invasive way to intervene earlier and reduce maternal breathing complications.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Lung ultrasound
What this could lead to
If successful, lung ultrasound could become a standard, non-invasive tool to catch dangerous fluid buildup early in pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, potentially preventing respiratory emergencies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The ultrasound's accuracy compared to standard clinical checks is still unproven, and results may not apply to all patients.

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 202 people

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

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

Jan 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Female participants only
