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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether a special ultrasound technique called shear wave elastography can predict how well kidney stone treatment (ESWL) will work in children. Currently, doctors use CT scans to estimate stone hardness, but these expose children to radiation. The study will include 108 children with kidney stones and follow them for 3 months after treatment to see if the ultrasound method is a reliable alternative.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
shear wave elastography (ultrasound technique)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer, radiation-free way to predict kidney stone treatment outcomes in children, reducing reliance on CT scans.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 108 participants. The ultrasound technique may not be accurate enough to replace CT scans, and results may not apply to all children.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Pediatric patients under 18 years of age diagnosed with renal stones measuring 6-20 mm and scheduled for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Patients will be recruited from the outpatient clinic and followed for 3 months. Proper history, examination and basic laboratory investigations (CBC, coagulation profile, kidney and Liver functions, urine analysis and urine culture and sensitivity) will be performed for all participants. Low dose CTUT will be performed as usual for all patient to record stone location, size (maximum longitudinal and transverse dimensions), and HU. Renal stone elastography values will be measured by a single radiologist using grayscale renal US and SWE. SWE measurements will be performed once prior to ESWL. A Philips EPİQ7 system (Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, WA) with a 1-5-MHz abdominal probe will be used for the procedure.
