What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested a computer system called Beacon that gives doctors advice on when to take patients off a breathing machine. 29 adults who had been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours took part. The goal was to see if using the system led to less time on the ventilator compared to standard care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Beacon Caresystem (decision-support device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this system could help patients spend less time on a breathing machine, reducing complications and speeding recovery.
What could go wrong
This was a very small study (29 people) with no phase, so results may not apply broadly. The device only gives advice; doctors still make final decisions.

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.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient is on invasive mechanical ventilation more 48 hours * Age \> 18 years * Patients are ventilated using Maquet Servo-I, Draeger Infinity V500 or Draeger Evita XL mechanical ventilators in "pressure support", "volume controlled", or "pressure controlled" ventilation modes. * Haemodynamically stable (mean blood pressure ≥ 65 mmHg) * Patients or, in the case that the patient is unable, next of kin understand and accept oral and written information describing the study or patient consent retrospectively in case of emergency inclusion. Exclusion Criteria: * The absence of an arterial catheter for blood sampling. * Medical history of home mechanical ventilation * Severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 100 mmHg) * Head trauma or other conditions where intra-cranial pressure may be elevated and tight regulation of arterial CO2 level is paramount. * Severe neurological patients (Glasgow coma score \<10, neurologic damage with limited prognosis, stroke hemiplegia). * Known or suspected severe myopathy or neuropathy (including ICU neuromyopathy) * Quadriplegia * Severe heart failure * Broncho alveolar fistula with more than 100ml leakage * History of home mechanical ventilation * Pregnancy.
