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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study gives women over 70 being treated for breast cancer a wrist-worn activity tracker to wear for a year. Researchers will analyze daily step counts and sleep duration to describe different physical activity and sleep profiles. They will also see how these profiles relate to quality of life, fatigue, and other health factors. The goal is to better understand the real-world activity and sleep patterns of older breast cancer patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
activity tracker (Withings Steel)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify patterns of physical activity and sleep that are linked to better quality of life in older breast cancer survivors, potentially guiding future supportive care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it will not directly improve outcomes. The results may not apply to all older patients, and the tracker data may not capture all meaningful aspects of activity or sleep.
