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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests new radio frequency coils for MRI scanners to see if they can produce better images in children, including those with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Researchers will check for side effects like heating and discomfort, and measure image quality. The goal is to improve MRI technology for safer, clearer scans in young patients.

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 lead to safer, clearer MRI scans for children, especially those with muscle diseases.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage technology evaluation. The new coils may not improve image quality significantly or could cause discomfort.

Study facts

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

Participants

About 75 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jul 2012

Expected to finish

Jun 2031

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

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.

Who is studied

Healthy participants will be recruited by word-of-mouth, generally from within CCHMC.The healthy participants could include children of faculty or staff members of CCHMC.Because the healthy participants could include children of faculty or staff members, recruitment will be consistent with CCHMC Research Policy.Patients will be recruited at the time of their scheduled clinical scan.We are only using these participants to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the use of the new coils in our patient population.For this reason, we will not focus on the demographics of the participants.However, we will attempt to obtain a broad anatomic size range to match that of the patient population for which the coils were developed.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

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