Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this research opportunity available to those aged 75 or above?

"This clinical trial needs to recruit participants aged between 18 and 85. If the patient is younger than 18, then there are 6 other studies available for them; if they are over 65, 23 trials might be more suitable."

Answered by AI

Is this research actively recruiting participants?

"Contrary to expectations, clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this medical trial is currently not recruiting any more participants. Initially posted on February 14th 2018 and last edited on June 28th 2022, the study has since been superseded by 28 other studies actively seeking enrolment."

Answered by AI

Is it possible for me to sign up for this research program?

"This study is restricted to individuals under 85 years old and with a need for mechanical ventilation. A total of 58 participants will be admitted into the trial."
