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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This pilot study tested whether a program combining nurse-led telephone coaching and home telemonitoring of vital signs is feasible and acceptable for older adults with heart failure. 46 patients hospitalized for heart failure were enrolled. The study focused on recruitment, retention, and adherence, not on whether the program actually reduces hospitalizations. Results will inform a larger future trial.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
nurse-led telephone coaching and home telemonitoring of vital signs
What this could lead to
If successful, this could pave the way for a larger trial that tests whether this approach reduces hospital readmissions and improves self-care in heart failure patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 46 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention requires daily self-monitoring, which may be challenging for some patients.
