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 Results may not be published yet.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

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

This study will test if wearable devices like continuous glucose monitors and heart rate monitors can help detect early signs of heart problems in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Ten participants will wear these devices at home over two years and have periodic heart scans and glucose tests. The goal is to understand how blood sugar levels and heart rate variability relate to heart muscle damage in DMD.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better ways to screen for and manage heart complications in Duchenne muscular dystrophy using simple wearable devices.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to gather information, not to test a treatment.
