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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

Women who finish treatment for early-stage breast cancer often deal with ongoing symptoms while taking endocrine therapy. This trial tests a 12-month program where women report symptoms electronically and nurses step in when needed, rather than relying only on scheduled appointments. Researchers want to see whether this nurse-led, patient-initiated approach is practical and acceptable to patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A nurse-led, patient-initiated follow-up program with electronic symptom monitoring and automated resources
What this could lead to
If it works, this model could give women a more flexible way to get help with treatment-related symptoms after breast cancer, without waiting for scheduled clinic visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with 30 women, so it cannot prove the approach improves symptoms or quality of life. The results may not apply to other cancer types or health systems.
