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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 are testing an experimental oral drug called GH56 in people with advanced solid tumors that have lost the MTAP gene. The trial enrolls adults and adolescents whose cancer has progressed after standard treatment or who have no standard options left. The study first finds a safe dose, then expands to more participants to look for early signs that the drug shrinks tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
GH56 capsule, an experimental oral cancer drug
What this could lead to
If GH56 works, it could offer an oral treatment option for advanced solid tumors with an MTAP deletion, a group that often has few targeted choices.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial, so researchers mainly check safety and dosing rather than whether the drug extends life. Many experimental cancer drugs fail at this stage, and GH56 may cause side effects or show too little benefit.
