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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers are testing a shorter, adapted form of radiation therapy for people with high-risk endometrial cancer after surgery. The trial enrolls 20 patients and uses daily imaging to adjust the radiation plan to each person's anatomy. Participants receive moderately hypofractionated external beam radiation, with optional brachytherapy and chemotherapy. The study tracks acute and long-term side effects, three-year failure-free survival, quality of life, and treatment costs.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
moderately hypofractionated adaptive radiotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could offer a shorter, more personalized course of radiation after surgery for high-risk endometrial cancer, with fewer side effects and lower costs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm study with 20 patients and no control group, so it cannot prove the approach is better than standard radiation. Results may not apply to all patients, and radiation still carries risks of bowel, bladder, or other pelvic side effects.
