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 Results may not be published yet.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 looks at how much of the antibiotic telavancin gets into the brain fluid of 20 critically ill patients who have a drain in their head (external ventricular drain). These patients often need strong antibiotics, but it's not clear if telavancin reaches the brain well enough. Researchers will measure drug levels in blood and brain fluid after three doses to better understand how the body processes the drug.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Telavancin (Vibativ)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors know the right dose of telavancin to treat brain infections in critically ill patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study (20 people) that only measures drug levels, not whether the drug actually works or improves outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients.
