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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This trial tests whether a simple blood test can help detect and monitor cervical cancer. Researchers will analyze tiny DNA fragments and particles in the blood, called cell-free DNA and extracellular vesicles, to see if they act as early warning signs. The study involves 100 women with cervical cancer who will give blood samples before, during, and after treatment. If these biomarkers prove reliable, the test could offer a less invasive way to track the disease and guide treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Blood sample collection and analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicles (EVs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test for earlier detection, real-time treatment monitoring, and prediction of recurrence in cervical cancer, reducing the need for invasive biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with 100 participants, so the findings may not apply broadly. The biomarkers may not prove reliable, and the analysis is complex, with no guarantee of clinical utility yet.
