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.

Stopped early This study
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 study looked at how craniosynostosis—a condition where a baby's skull bones fuse too early—affects brain development. Researchers used special MRI scans and developmental tests to compare children with the condition before and after skull surgery to healthy children of the same age. The goal was to understand changes in brain wiring and growth, but the study was stopped early and only enrolled 9 participants, so results are limited.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Up to 500 children, for all subjects, age of initial study entry: one test group between 3-6 months old( endoscopic assisted) , and the other 6-24 months of age ( open CVR) ) once enrolled, children will be included until 4 years of age. * Diagnosed with craniosynostosis, single or multiple suture * Babies with craniosynostosis syndrome including but not limited to Pfieffers, Aperts, Crouzons,and Menkes. * Approximately 60 age-matched controls (3 in each group) not diagnosed with craniosynostosis syndrome, stratified by age groups starting at 3 months, 5 months, 7 months, 9 month 11 months, 13 months, 15 months, 17 months, 19 months, then every 3 months, 22 months, 25 months, 28 months, 31 months, 34 months, 37 months,40 months,43 months,46 months,49 months. Exclusion Criteria: * Children not meeting the inclusion criteria * Children with traumatic brain injury, brain cancer, or VP shunt that could affect development. * Children who have already undergone CVR repair * Developmentally Normal children who cannot undergo or cannot be still for an awake or asleep non-sedated MRI
