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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is testing whether a simple bedside heart ultrasound can help predict which emergency patients with a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung) are likely to have serious complications within the next few days. Researchers will perform the ultrasound on 250 patients at the time of diagnosis and track their outcomes for up to 14 days. The goal is to see if signs of right heart strain on the ultrasound can identify high-risk patients better than current methods.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
point-of-care echocardiography (bedside heart ultrasound)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a quick, reliable way to identify which pulmonary embolism patients are at highest risk of complications, helping them make faster treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. The ultrasound findings may not prove accurate enough to change clinical practice, and the results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.
