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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 study looks at whether certain blood cell counts and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes can help predict if triple negative breast cancer will come back. Researchers will collect blood samples from 90 women after radiation and at the time of any first recurrence. The goal is to find a simple, inexpensive way to identify patients at higher risk of metastatic recurrence.

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 successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to help predict which patients are at higher risk of their breast cancer returning.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is small (90 people) and only looks at correlations, so it may not lead to a reliable test.
