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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compares two imaging tests—PIC cystography and VCUG—for diagnosing vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children. VUR is a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys, which can lead to infections. The trial will enroll 60 children undergoing endoscopic surgery, and researchers will see if the newer PIC method, done during surgery, matches the standard VCUG in detecting reflux. The goal is to find a more efficient way to diagnose VUR without extra procedures.

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 show that PIC cystography is a reliable alternative to VCUG for diagnosing vesicoureteral reflux in children, potentially reducing the need for separate imaging procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage diagnostic study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The PIC cystogram is done during surgery, which limits its use to specific cases.

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 60 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

Apr 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

Up to 18 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

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