NCT ID NCT02581150

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 Results may not be published yet.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

Researchers are comparing two ways to treat blocked leg arteries: doing the procedure as an outpatient visit versus keeping patients overnight in the hospital. The study enrolls 160 adults with peripheral arterial disease who need a minimally invasive procedure to open their arteries. The team tracks costs and quality of life for three months to see which approach gives better value for the money.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
endovascular treatment of blocked leg arteries, performed as an outpatient procedure or with an overnight hospital stay
What this could lead to
If outpatient treatment proves as effective and cheaper, more patients with blocked leg arteries could avoid overnight hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small study in one health system, so its cost findings may not apply elsewhere. Outpatient artery procedures carry a small risk of bleeding or complications that need hospital care.
