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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is testing a small, sticky chest patch called VT-Patch that can continuously track a child's heart rate, oxygen levels, breathing rate, and temperature. Researchers will put the patch on 48 children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for 8 hours and compare its readings to the standard hospital monitors. If the patch works well, it could one day allow children to be monitored more comfortably and even after they leave the PICU, helping doctors spot early signs of trouble.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
VT-Patch (a small chest-worn device that continuously tracks vital signs)
What this could lead to
If accurate, this patch could allow safer monitoring of children after they leave the intensive care unit, helping catch problems early.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early validation study with only 48 children. The device may not be as accurate as standard monitors, and results may not apply to all skin tones or medical conditions.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 48 people

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

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

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.

Ages

0 to 18 years

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: * Children (0 to 18 years old) admitted in St. Justine's Hospital's PICU. * PICU monitoring for the next 24 hours Exclusion Criteria: * Recent cardiac or thoracic surgery * Thoracic skin lesion that contraindicates the VT-Patch * No parental consent * Intermittent presence of one study observer in the patient room is considered inappropriate by the physician or the nurse in charge because of the child's medical condition
