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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early-phase trial tested a lab-made version of human serum albumin (r-HSA) in 36 people with cirrhosis and ascites (fluid buildup in the belly). The goal was to check safety, how the body processes the drug, and whether it might help. Participants received one of three doses of r-HSA or standard albumin. Results will show if this new option is safe enough to study further.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Recombinant human serum albumin (r-HSA)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer or more reliable alternative to standard albumin for managing fluid buildup in cirrhosis patients.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 36 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The drug may not work better than existing treatments or could have unexpected side effects.
