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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is testing whether a computer model that analyzes CT scans taken before treatment, combined with basic clinical information, can predict how long people with gastric cancer will live and when their cancer might progress. Researchers will follow 600 adults receiving standard care, collecting their imaging and medical data to see if the model's predictions match real outcomes. The model's predictions are for research only and will not influence treatment decisions.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide doctors with a new tool to better estimate how gastric cancer might progress, potentially guiding more personalized treatment decisions in the future.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove the model changes outcomes. The model's accuracy may vary across different patient groups, and it is not yet ready for clinical use.
