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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

The ORACLE study watches people who have finished treatment for early-stage solid tumors, such as lung, breast, colon, and pancreatic cancers. Researchers want to see if a blood test called Guardant Reveal can find tiny traces of tumor DNA that might signal the cancer is coming back. Participants give blood samples regularly during their standard follow-up care. By comparing test results with what happens to participants over time, the study aims to learn how well the test detects recurrence.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Guardant Reveal, a blood test that looks for tiny amounts of tumor DNA
What this could lead to
If the blood test works, doctors could one day use a simple blood draw to catch cancer recurrence earlier than scans or symptoms, possibly leading to faster treatment.
What could go wrong
The test may miss some recurrences or give false alarms, leading to unnecessary worry and tests. This study observes people over time; it does not test whether acting on the test results improves outcomes.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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 primary study population will include participants with invasive bladder/upper urinary tract carcinoma, NSCLC, breast cancer, cutaneous melanoma, esophageal carcinoma, gastroesophageal junction carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, epithelial ovarian/Fallopian tube carcinoma, endometrial cancer, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and colorectal cancer as per inclusion/exclusion criteria below.
