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 Results may not be published yet.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 trial compares two approaches to umbilical cord care in healthy newborns: cleaning with alcohol versus simply keeping the cord clean and dry. Researchers want to see whether natural drying leads to fewer infections, faster cord separation, and lower costs. About 210 mother-baby pairs will take part, with results helping guide routine newborn care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
routine alcohol-based umbilical cord care versus natural dry cord care without antiseptics
What this could lead to
If natural drying proves as safe as alcohol care, it could simplify newborn care and reduce costs.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 210 babies, so results may not apply everywhere. Natural drying might increase infection risk in some settings.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 210 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
