NCT ID NCT07311733

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 small study tests a device called the ivWatch Model 400 with Milky Way Sensor, which monitors IV sites and alerts if fluids leak into surrounding tissue. Researchers will enroll 28 healthy adults and deliberately create small, controlled leaks to see how well the sensor detects them. The goal is to improve patient safety during IV therapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ivWatch Model 400 with Milky Way Sensor (a monitoring device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this sensor could help nurses catch IV leaks early, reducing pain and injury for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 28 healthy volunteers. The sensor may not work as well in real hospital settings or in sicker patients.
