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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looks at how different amounts of endurance exercise—from none to high levels—affect the bacteria living in the mouth of young adults aged 18 to 30. Researchers will collect saliva and gum samples to compare the oral microbiome and signs of inflammation. The goal is to understand whether exercise level is linked to oral health and to find mouth-based markers of physical activity.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could reveal how different levels of exercise shape the mouth's microbial balance, pointing toward simple oral-health checks for athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so findings may not apply broadly. It only looks at young endurance athletes, and results are observational—no treatment is tested.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Other sponsor
