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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study compares specially trained nurses to interventional cardiologists in performing radial catheterization for elective coronary angiography. Over 1,600 participants will be randomly assigned to have the procedure done by a nurse or a cardiologist. The goal is to see if nurses can safely insert the catheter on the first try, which could help expand access to care and free up doctors for more complex cases.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
radial catheterization procedure
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that specially trained nurses can safely perform radial catheterization, potentially improving access to care and reducing cardiologist workload.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with only one prior study to guide it. The risk of complications is low but unknown for nurse-performed radial access, and results may not apply to other hospitals.
