What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial is testing whether giving radiotherapy after surgery can lower the risk of cancer returning in people with early-stage glottic (voice box) cancer that has spread to the anterior commissure. Participants will receive intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) after their surgery. The study will track how many people remain free of cancer recurrence over three and five years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)
What this could lead to
If effective, adding radiotherapy after surgery could reduce the chance of cancer returning in people with early glottic cancer that involves the anterior commissure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial, so results may not be definitive. Radiotherapy can cause side effects like throat irritation or voice changes, and it may not improve outcomes for everyone.

Participants

About 38 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
