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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

Researchers at Jagiellonian University are testing whether chewable tablets containing heat-inactivated Lactobacillus salivarius HM-6 Paradens can change saliva pH and immune markers in preschool children. Seventy-two healthy children aged 3 to 6 take two tablets daily for 14 days, one after breakfast and one at bedtime. The team collects saliva before and after the intervention to measure pH, secretory IgA, and human beta-defensin 2. The goal is to see if this short, non-invasive routine can support the oral environment in young children.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
chewable tablets containing heat-inactivated Lactobacillus salivarius HM-6 Paradens
What this could lead to
If the tablets shift saliva pH or immune markers, this could point toward a simple, non-invasive way to support young children's oral health.
What could go wrong
The study is small and short, and it measures saliva markers rather than cavities, so any changes may not translate into real dental benefits. The tablets are heat-inactivated, meaning the bacteria are dead, which may limit their effect.
