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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases per year globally. Approximately 90% of these patients will undergo breast surgery with/without radiation (locoregional treatment). Different surgical techniques can be offered to the patient, each leading to completely different aesthetic outcomes. Moreover, the aesthetic outcome could be completely different for patients undergoing the same surgery based on individual patient factors (e.g., age, body habitus). In the CINDERELLA trial, the investigators will be using the (Breast Locoregional (BreLO) AI system (an artificial intelligence-based tool for the classification of aesthetic outcomes and matching data and photographs) integrated into CANKADO (a cloud-based healthcare platform) to create an easy-to-use application that can be used on any electronic device, to simulate visually to the patient the aesthetic outcome of a certain surgery or radiation treatment. In the CINDERELLA trial, the investigators plan to compare whether the application helped fulfil the expectations and lead to a better quality of life compared with the classical approach. In the classical approach (control arm), doctors usually propose a locoregional treatment and explain theoretically how the result will be. Nurses help by explaining further details about the surgery and possible outcomes. In most centres, no photographic evaluation is done, and expectations are not measured. The CINDERELLA trial will help overcome miscommunication and potential boundaries in the patient's or physician's understanding of the potential outcomes of locoregional breast cancer treatment.
