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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests whether a program called TweenVax, which provides education and training to clinics, providers, and parents, can increase HPV vaccination rates among adolescents aged 9 to 12. Researchers will compare clinics using TweenVax to those using standard vaccination promotion practices. The goal is to see if more adolescents complete the HPV vaccine series by age 13, potentially preventing many HPV-related cancers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Educational and promotional intervention (TweenVax) delivered to practices, providers, and parents/adolescents
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could raise HPV vaccination rates and help prevent hundreds of thousands of HPV-related cancers.
What could go wrong
The trial is early and relies on real-world clinic participation, so results may vary. Success depends on consistent implementation across many practices.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

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 1,836 people

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

Started

May 2025

Expected to finish

Mar 2028

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.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
