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 Results may not be published yet.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 uses a safe, radiation-free device called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to take pictures of the lungs in infants, children, and young adults up to age 25. Researchers will compare images from patients with chronic lung or heart conditions to healthy controls to better understand lung structure and function. The goal is to learn more about lung disease without using harmful X-rays or CT scans.

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 a safer, radiation-free way to monitor lung health in children with chronic respiratory conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on imaging, not treatment. It may not lead to immediate clinical changes or benefit participants directly.
