What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This trial tests a blood-based test designed to detect multiple cancers early in people aged 40 to 74 who have no cancer symptoms. The study will enroll about 2,500 participants and will check how well the test identifies lung, colorectal, liver, gastric, and esophageal cancers. Researchers will also measure how often a positive test leads to a confirmed diagnosis and how quickly people get a clear answer after a positive result.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Blood-based multi-cancer early detection test
What this could lead to
If the test works, it could lead to a simple blood draw that helps catch several cancers early, when treatment is more likely to succeed.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, so the test may not be accurate enough or may cause unnecessary follow-up procedures. The results will need confirmation in larger trials.
