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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers test whether giving people education materials and free access to screening helps them get checked for colorectal cancer and hepatitis C. The trial enrolls adults ages 45 to 75 who receive care at community health centers and are not up to date on these screenings. Participants complete surveys, receive a booklet or other materials, and can get free stool-based colorectal cancer tests and hepatitis C blood tests. The goal is to see if this approach increases the number of people who complete both screenings.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an education program with free screening access for colorectal cancer and hepatitis C
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple way to help more people get screened for two serious diseases at once.
What could go wrong
The trial may show that education alone is not enough to overcome barriers like transportation, time, or fear. Screening rates might not improve.

Participants

About 350 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Apr 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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