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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at 80 critically ill ICU patients who need tube feeding. Doctors will use a bedside ultrasound to measure blood flow in the gut artery after feeding starts. The goal is to see if changes in blood flow can predict gut injury, so feeding can be adjusted to be safer and more personalized.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
enteral nutrition (tube feeding)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to safer, personalized feeding strategies for critically ill patients, reducing gut complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to all ICU patients or lead to immediate changes in care.

Participants

About 80 people

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

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

The study population will be selected from adult patients admitted to the ICU. Participants will be those aged between 18 and 80 years old, with an expected ICU stay of more than 72 hours after enrolled, and who require the initiation of enteral nutrition support. These patients are at risk of gastrointestinal dysfunction and acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI), making them suitable candidates for a study focused on optimizing enteral nutrition strategies and monitoring gastrointestinal blood flow.

Ages
