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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether relaxin, a natural hormone given as a daily injection, can reduce the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) in 208 veterans who have not responded to standard medications and are scheduled for catheter ablation. The study aims to see if relaxin can counteract harmful electrical changes in the heart caused by oxidative stress, potentially lowering AF recurrence after the procedure. It is a Phase 1/2 study, meaning it is primarily evaluating safety and early effectiveness.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Relaxin (a naturally occurring hormone given as a daily injection)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment to reduce atrial fibrillation recurrence after standard ablation procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1/2 trial with only 208 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment is still experimental and may not prove effective or safe.
