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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study evaluates several experimental blood tests designed to detect ovarian cancer earlier. Researchers compare results from people with ovarian cancer to those without cancer to see how well the tests distinguish between the two. The tests look for specific changes in the blood that may signal cancer. Participation involves providing blood samples, but the results are for research only and not used for diagnosis or medical decisions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Investigational ovarian cancer biomarker assays (OVA-GLY, OVA-VOC, OVA-miRNA)
What this could lead to
If successful, these blood tests could help detect ovarian cancer earlier, potentially improving treatment options and outcomes.
What could go wrong
These tests are still experimental and not yet proven for routine use. The study is observational, so it will not directly benefit participants.
