Rural Home Hospital: Proof of Concept

Not yet recruiting: The study has not started recruiting participants. Recruiting: The study is currently recruiting participants. Enrolling by invitation: The study is selecting its participants from a population, or group of people, decided on by the researchers in advance. These studies are not open to everyone who meets the eligibility criteria but only to people in that particular population, who are specifically invited to participate. Active, not recruiting: The study is ongoing, and participants are receiving an intervention or being examined, but potential participants are not currently being recruited or enrolled. Suspended: The study has stopped early but may start again. Terminated: The study has stopped early and will not start again. Participants are no longer being examined or treated. Completed: The study has ended normally, and participants are no longer being examined or treated (that is, the last participant's last visit has occurred). Withdrawn: The study stopped early, before enrolling its first participant. Unknown: A study on ClinicalTrials.gov whose last known status was recruiting; not yet recruiting; or active, not recruiting but that has passed its completion date, and the status has not been last verified within the past 2 years.

A type of eligibility criteria that indicates the age a person must be to participate in a clinical study. This may be indicated by a specific age or the following age groups: The age groups are: Child (birth–17) Adult (18–64) Older adult (65+)

A type of eligibility criteria that indicates the sex of people who may participate in a clinical study (all, female, male). Sex is a person's classification as female or male based on biological distinctions. Sex is distinct from gender-based eligibility.

A type of eligibility criteria that indicates whether people who do not have the condition/disease being studied can participate in that clinical study.

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access. Interventional studies (clinical trials): A type of clinical study in which participants are assigned to groups that receive one or more intervention/treatment (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. The assignments are determined by the study's protocol. Participants may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other types of interventions. Observational studies: A type of clinical study in which participants are identified as belonging to study groups and are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Participants may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other types of interventions, but the investigator does not assign participants to a specific intervention/treatment. A patient registry is a type of observational study. Expanded access: A way for patients with serious diseases or conditions who cannot participate in a clinical trial to gain access to a medical product that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also called compassionate use. There are different expanded access types.

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "estimated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

The organization or person who initiates the study and who has authority and control over the study.
