What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

Researchers at IRCCS San Raffaele are building a registry of radiology and clinical data from adults with suspected or diagnosed pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cysts, or other pancreatic disease. The registry gathers retrospective scans from 2014 onward and prospective scans through 2027, with up to three years of follow-up per patient. By matching imaging findings with outcomes such as progression-free survival and overall survival, the study aims to learn which radiological features help assess malignancy and prognosis.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If the registry links imaging patterns to outcomes, doctors could better predict which pancreatic tumors will grow and choose treatments more precisely.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial, so it cannot prove that any scan or procedure changes outcomes. The data may be incomplete or inconsistent across years, and findings may not apply to other hospitals.
