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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests a mobile health information system to help clinics in Uganda screen newborns for sickle cell disease and coordinate their care. Researchers will compare clinics using the new system to those using standard screening. The goal is to see if the system helps more babies get diagnosed and treated early, reducing deaths.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Mobile health information management system
What this could lead to
If successful, this system could help identify babies with sickle cell disease earlier and connect them to life-saving treatment, reducing deaths in early childhood.
What could go wrong
This is a large implementation study, not a drug trial. Success depends on real-world use in clinics, and results may not apply to other countries or health systems.

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

Started

Mar 2026

Expected to finish

Jun 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.
