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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether a web-based coaching program called CardioFit can help people with coronary artery disease become more physically active. Participants use a secure website to create personalized exercise plans with guidance from an online coach. The trial compares CardioFit to usual care, measuring physical activity levels and quality of life over 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
CardioFit (web-based physical activity coaching program)
What this could lead to
If effective, CardioFit could offer a convenient, home-based way for heart disease patients to increase physical activity and improve quality of life without needing to attend a structured rehab program.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (223 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply to all heart patients. The program relies on internet access and self-motivation, which may limit its effectiveness for some.
