NCT ID NCT06652568

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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested whether a mobile app called ThinkSono Guidance can help healthcare workers who are not ultrasound experts (like nurses or general doctors) take good-quality ultrasound images of leg veins to check for blood clots. Over 600 adults with symptoms of deep vein thrombosis took part. The goal was to see if the images were clear enough for a remote expert to make a diagnosis, potentially speeding up care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ThinkSono Guidance System (software app for ultrasound image acquisition)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make it easier for nurses and general doctors to quickly check for dangerous blood clots without needing a specialist on site.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but the software may not work as well in real-world settings or for all types of patients. The results depend on how well non-experts follow the guidance.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Who can take part

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

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * The participant is willing to provide written informed consent to participate in this research. * The participant is over the age of 18 * The participant has symptoms suggestive of a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) * The diagnostic DVT algorithm indicates that an ultrasound is needed Exclusion Criteria: * Patient consent not given or retracted during the study. * Local imaging specialists fail to scan the patient or fail to produce a conclusive imaging diagnosis. * Incomplete ThinkSono Guidance scan due to logistical or other issues such as pain, lack of patient cooperation, barriers such as a cast or other physical limitations. * Pregnant women * Patients who undergo a local imaging scan and initiation of new treatment for DVT (e.g. lytic agents, therapeutic anticoagulation, or intervention after the local imaging scan) before a ThinkSono scan can be performed.
