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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compares three ways to help people with advanced chronic kidney disease prepare for hemodialysis vascular access. 360 participants will either get a video and brochure, the same materials plus coaching sessions, or usual care. The goal is to see which approach helps more patients actually get the surgery needed for dialysis access.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Educational materials and motivational interviewing
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that better education and coaching help more patients get the right vascular access for dialysis on time.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so it won't directly change disease outcomes. Results may vary by patient motivation and clinic support.
