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 Results may not be published yet.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 tests two types of wound vacuum therapy for people with severe, flesh-eating infections. One method just uses suction, while the other also cleans the wound with a dilute bleach solution. Researchers want to see if the cleaning method leads to fewer hospital readmissions and faster healing. The trial will enroll 30 adults and is a first step to see if a larger study is possible.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Negative pressure wound therapy with or without instillation (hypochlorous acid)
What this could lead to
If NPWTi proves better, it could reduce hospital readmissions and speed up wound healing for people with severe infections.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 30 people, so results may not be conclusive. The instillation adds a step and may not improve outcomes over standard therapy.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started
