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 Results may not be published yet.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.

This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers at Mayo Clinic are studying a remote monitoring program called SHIELD for cancer patients who are starting systemic therapy. Participants use a smartphone app to report symptoms and wear a small temperature sensor. The app and sensor send data to the medical record, where nurses and clinical assistants can review alerts and decide if a patient needs care. The study checks whether this approach is practical, acceptable, and able to catch infectious complications early.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A remote monitoring program combining a smartphone app for symptom reporting with a wearable continuous temperature sensor
What this could lead to
If it works, cancer patients starting treatment could spot infections earlier from home, possibly avoiding emergency visits and catching problems before they become serious.
What could go wrong
This is an early implementation study, not a test of whether the program saves lives. Patients may not stick with the app or sensor, alerts may overwhelm clinic staff, and the program may not work outside Mayo Clinic.

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 470 people

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

Expected to start

Nov 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jun 2031

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
