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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This trial tests a procedure called middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization for people with chronic subdural hematomas—a buildup of blood on the brain that can cause confusion and weakness. The study will see if blocking the artery that feeds the hematoma can prevent it from returning after surgery or even treat it without surgery. About 180 adults with symptomatic or stubborn hematomas will take part across multiple centers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Middle meningeal artery embolization (a minimally invasive procedure that blocks blood flow to the hematoma)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive way to treat chronic subdural hematomas and reduce the need for repeat surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 180 participants, so results are not yet proven. The procedure carries risks like bleeding or allergic reaction to contrast dye, and it may not work for everyone.

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 180 people

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

Started

Expected to finish

Jan 2027

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.
