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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks for proteins and other factors that might predict whether a teenager's scoliosis curve will get worse. Researchers will compare blood samples and health information from 500 teens with and without scoliosis over 6–12 months. The goal is to better understand what causes curves to progress, not to test a treatment.

Participants

About 500 people

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

Started

An estimate. End dates often move.

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.

Who is studied

Scoliosis patients will be recruited from a Children's Hospital Colorado spine clinic during a routine visit for their scoliosis. Controls will be recruited from a Children's Hospital Colorado spine clinic for those who were suspected to have scoliosis with spinal curvature \<10 degrees, or from a Children's Hospital Colorado sports clinic seen for a musculoskeletal injury or condition.

Ages

10 to 17 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients 10-17 years old with idiopathic or neuromuscular scoliosis with a cobb angle of 10-50° that are currently being seen for their scoliosis at a Children's Hospital Colorado location Exclusion Criteria: * Children diagnosed with certain genetic conditions that affect the bones or muscles (Turner syndrome, down syndrome, Marfan syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, muscular dystrophy, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, VATER/VACTERL syndrome, Rett syndrome, Prader Willi syndrome, or Angelman syndrome) * Patients with congenital scoliosis, early onset scoliosis (diagnosed before 9 years old), or those who have spine surgery scheduled prior to the first study visit * Patients whose spinal curve is \>50 degrees * Those taking medications that may influence protein expression (baclofen, prednisone/corticosteroids, antiepileptic medications, diazepam, tizanidine, and/or dantrolene) * Patients who are pregnant * Patients with neurocognitive disorders who are non-verbal and/or non-ambulatory * Patients who are not receiving care for scoliosis at a Children's Hospital Colorado location
