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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study looks at 620 critically ill ICU patients to see if calculating protein needs based on lean body mass (instead of total body weight) leads to better outcomes like lower death rates and shorter hospital stays. Researchers will compare two groups: one that got protein based on actual weight and another based on fat-free mass. The goal is to find the best way to preserve muscle and support recovery in the ICU.

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 help doctors better calculate protein needs for critically ill patients, potentially improving recovery and reducing hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all ICU patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
