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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 whether a structured training program helps radiologic technologists safely place IV lines for contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scans. Nine technologists will be trained, and researchers will measure their skills, complication rates, and patient satisfaction. The goal is to see if this training improves patient safety and comfort during imaging procedures.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Structured Peripheral Venous Access Training Program
What this could lead to
If successful, this training program could improve patient safety and comfort during contrast-enhanced scans by allowing radiologic technologists to place IV lines more effectively.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (9 participants) and only measures short-term outcomes. Results may not apply to other hospitals or settings.

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

About 9 people

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

Expected to start

Feb 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

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.

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.

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 for Radiologic Technologists (RTs): * Voluntary participation and provision of written informed consent. * Completion of the structured theoretical and practical training program for peripheral venous access placement for contrast media administration. Inclusion Criteria for Patients: * Age ≥18 years * Provision of written informed consent. * Undergoing a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI examination requiring peripheral venous access placement for contrast media administration. Exclusion Criteria for Radiologic Technologists (RTs): \- No written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria for Patients: * Age \<18 years. * Severe cognitive impairment that precludes valid informed consent or completion of the patient survey. * No written informed consent. * Clinical conditions that make peripheral venous access placement complex or unsafe, as determined by the clinical team.
