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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study follows 40 people with Friedreich's ataxia, a hereditary neurological condition that affects movement and speech, to see how their oral communication changes over one year. Researchers will assess speech clarity, voice quality, and hearing using speech therapy evaluations and audiometry tests. The goal is to find sensitive markers that can track disease progression and help measure the effectiveness of future treatments.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify sensitive markers of speech and hearing decline in Friedreich's ataxia, enabling better tracking of disease progression and more effective evaluation of future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with a small number of participants, so findings may not apply to all people with Friedreich's ataxia. The measures may not prove sensitive enough to detect meaningful changes over one year.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
