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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This registry follows 63 patients with choroidal melanoma or early eye lesions who were treated with the experimental drug bel-sar in earlier studies. The goal is to monitor long-term safety, side effects, and any spread of the disease over time. Participants are not receiving new treatment but are observed through standard medical checkups.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bel-sar (AU-011)
What this could lead to
If successful, this registry will provide important long-term safety data that could support the future use of bel-sar as a treatment for choroidal melanoma.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial, so it does not test whether bel-sar works. It only collects data from a small number of patients who already received the drug.
