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.

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.

Summary

This pilot study will test a mobile app called ADEPT among 30 village doctors in Bangladesh. The app helps doctors decide when antibiotics are truly needed for children with diarrhea. The goal is to see if using the app reduces unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions, which is a major problem in low-resource areas.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Accessible Diarrhea Etiology Prediction Tool (ADEPT) - a mobile phone app
What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use in resource-limited areas, potentially slowing antibiotic resistance.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (30 doctors) with no control group, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The tool relies on self-reporting, which can be biased.
