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.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 is testing whether artificial intelligence can help ultrasound scans better detect ovarian cancer in postmenopausal women. About 100 women with certain types of ovarian cysts will have their ultrasound images analyzed by AI. The goal is to see if the AI can match or beat expert doctors at telling which cysts are cancerous, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and fewer unnecessary surgeries.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
artificial intelligence software for ultrasound image analysis
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, AI-assisted ultrasound method for detecting ovarian cancer earlier and reducing unnecessary surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The AI model is still being developed and may not outperform expert sonographers.
