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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study aims to create a large database of medical information and biological samples from 2,000 newborns with brain conditions like encephalopathy. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and spinal fluid samples, along with genetic data, to better understand and monitor brain injury. The goal is to use this big data to predict brain damage and guide treatment in the future.

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 could lead to better ways to monitor and predict brain injury in newborns, and provide a rich data resource for future research.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It collects data and samples, so it won't directly help participants. Results may take years to impact care.
