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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 trial tests a digital tool that helps doctors and patients manage cancer risks linked to hereditary syndromes like BRCA-related breast/ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome. The tool provides personalized recommendations during primary care visits. Researchers compare care gaps, shared decision-making, and patient confidence between those using the tool and those receiving usual care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Patient-centered clinical decision support (PC-CDS) tool
What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help people with hereditary cancer syndromes get the right preventive care and make informed decisions about their health.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. The tool may not change care patterns or improve outcomes as hoped.

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