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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 completed study looked at how physical fitness influences the way children (ages 8-17) process a high-fat meal. Fifteen kids drank a high-fat shake, and researchers measured how well their bodies broke down fats. The goal was to see if fitter children handle fatty meals better, which could affect insulin resistance and obesity. The study was small and focused on understanding basic biology, not testing a treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
High-fat shake (BOOST Glucose Control with palm oil)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help understand how fitness influences fat metabolism in children, potentially guiding future obesity or insulin resistance interventions.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study (15 participants) focused on feasibility and basic biology, not treatment. Results may not apply broadly.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

8 to 17 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children ages 8-17 years with a BMI-percentile ≥ 5th. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous diagnosis of type 1 or 2 diabetes. * Use of concurrent medications known to affect glucose metabolism (metformin, oral steroids, sulfonylureas, insulin). * Evidence of inherited disorders of lipid metabolism. * Inability to participant in the maximal aerobic capacity test on the treadmill. * Allergies to palm oils or protein types within high-fat challenge, such as lactose and soy. * Individuals who cannot speak and/or write in English.
