New MRI technique could better track lung treatment success

NCT ID NCT04855305

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 Results may not be published yet.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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested a special MRI technique using a harmless gas to see how well it can show changes in the lungs of people with interstitial lung disease. Researchers worked with 46 volunteers to find the best way to use this scan. The goal is to create a standard method that doctors can use to monitor if treatments are working.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Hyperpolarized 129Xe gas
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve how doctors monitor lung disease treatment using a non-invasive MRI technique.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study focused on refining imaging methods, not testing a treatment. The technique may not prove reliable enough for widespread use.
