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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study will test a special ultrasound technique called shear-wave elastography to see if it can better detect tendon inflammation (enthesitis) in people with psoriatic arthritis. Researchers will compare this method with standard ultrasound and also look at how it relates to a protein called SIRT2 and disease activity. The goal is to improve diagnosis and monitoring of this condition.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Device (LOGIQ P10)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a better, non-invasive way to detect tendon inflammation in psoriatic arthritis, potentially improving diagnosis and monitoring.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 57 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technique is still experimental and not yet proven to be better than standard methods.
