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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is testing a new AI-powered blood test that looks at platelets and immune cells to find early signs of eight different cancers, including lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer. Researchers will collect blood samples from 6,000 adults aged 40 and older, both with and without cancer, to see if the test can accurately tell them apart. The goal is to create a non-invasive way to catch cancer early and track how well treatments are working.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
DiNanoQ blood test and DiNanoTrack blood test
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test that catches several cancers early and helps doctors see if treatment is working.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not be accurate enough for widespread use, and results may not apply to all populations.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The CCANED-CIPHER study will enroll a diverse, geographically dispersed population to ensure the generalizability and robustness of its findings. The study is divided into two phases, utilizing up to 10 medical centers globally across the United Kingdom (UK), Europe, America, and Asia. Phase 1 (CCANED): Participants: 5,000 adults aged 40 years or older. * Cancer Patients: 3,500 individuals with confirmed diagnoses of common cancers. * Healthy Controls: 1,500 age-matched cancer-free individuals. Recruitment Strategy: Participants will be identified and enrolled through the participating medical centers, ensuring a representative sample across different geographical locations. Phase 2 (CIPHER): Participants: 1,000 adults aged 40 years or older diagnosed with HCC or NSCLC across stages I to IV. Recruitment Strategy: Cancer patients will be recruited from the participating cancer centers, ensuring a wide representation of disease stages and treatment backgrounds.
