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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study offers rapid whole genome sequencing and virtual genetic consultations to 200 seriously ill newborns in Texas hospitals with limited resources, especially along the Texas-Mexico border. Researchers want to see if the virtual tool, Consultagene, helps doctors diagnose rare genetic diseases faster than usual care. Feedback from healthcare providers will also be collected to improve the tool.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
rapid whole genome sequencing
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that rapid genetic testing and virtual consultations help diagnose rare diseases faster in newborns, especially in underserved areas.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 200 infants, so results may not apply to all newborns. The virtual tool may not work as well as in-person care.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 410 people

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

Started

Oct 2025

Expected to finish

Jul 2029

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

1 day to 90 days

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Undiagnosed infants from 0-90 days of age, with a diverse group of phenotypes and strongly suspected to have genetic disorders. Exclusion Criteria: * (1) abnormal noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) suggesting chromosomal abnormality; (2) abnormal amniocentesis results, (3) abnormal newborn screening indicating an inborn error of metabolism; (4) abnormal FISH results for aneuploidy (trisomy 18, 13, or monosomy X); (5) Down syndrome; (6) dysmorphic features in the absence of other congenital anomalies; (7) isolated birth defects such as myelomeningocele, cleft lip/palate, cardiac septal defects, isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia, etc.; (8) birth defects due to known teratogens i.e., alcohol, Isotretinoin, etc.; (9) multiple congenital anomalies associated with maternal diabetes; (10) VACTERL association; and (11) hemodynamically unstable newborns needing transport for higher level of care.
