What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Doctors and nurses who perform heart procedures using X-rays are exposed to radiation, which can increase their risk of cancer and eye damage. This study tests a new device called RAMPART that may better protect them. Researchers will compare radiation levels with and without the device during 100 heart procedures.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
RAMPART radiation protection device
What this could lead to
If it works, this device could significantly reduce radiation exposure for heart specialists, lowering their long-term health risks and allowing them to work more comfortably.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all settings. The device may not reduce radiation as much as hoped, or could be impractical in daily use.

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 100 people

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

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

Mar 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

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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: * All procedures involving adult patients (\>18 year of age) * Male or female patients * Planned to undergo either an elective or urgent coronary intervention procedure involving ionising radiation in the cardiac catheter lab, via the right and or left radial arteries. Exclusion Criteria: * Procedures involving patients less than 18 years of age * Patients unable to give valid consent * Pregnancy * Femoral approach procedure
