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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at how well the drug surufatinib works and how safe it is for people with neuroendocrine tumors, a type of cancer that grows from hormone-producing cells. Researchers will follow about 60 patients who receive surufatinib either alone or with other treatments, as decided by their doctor. The main goal is to see how long patients live without their cancer getting worse, with additional checks on tumor shrinkage and side effects. The findings could help guide real-world treatment decisions and improve care for this condition.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
surufatinib, a targeted cancer drug, given alone or with other treatments
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide stronger evidence that surufatinib helps control neuroendocrine tumors, potentially improving treatment options and outcomes for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a real-world study with a modest number of participants, so results may vary and not apply to everyone. Side effects are possible, and the drug may not work as well outside controlled trial settings.
