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.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This completed study collected neck tissue, blood, and urine from 34 adults having neck surgery. The samples are stored in a central bank for researchers to study obesity and diabetes. The goal is to help scientists learn more about these conditions and find new ways to predict, identify, and treat them.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this tissue bank could help researchers find new ways to predict, identify, or treat obesity and diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a tissue collection study, not a treatment trial. It only gathers samples for future research, so it won't directly help participants or lead to immediate medical advances.
