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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested a device called Seedchrony that measures a natural chemical in the uterus to see if it can predict whether an embryo transfer will lead to pregnancy. The study involved 92 women undergoing their first IVF cycle. The goal is to find a way to improve the low success rate of IVF, which is currently below 40%.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Seedchrony probe (device measuring intrauterine biomarker)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple test that helps doctors choose the best time for embryo transfer, potentially improving IVF success rates.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (92 participants) that only measures a biomarker—it does not test whether using the device actually improves pregnancy rates. The results may not apply to all IVF patients.
