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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether using a fluorescent dye and special camera during ovarian cancer surgery can help surgeons see blood flow in the bowel and reduce the risk of leaks after reconnecting it. About 310 women with ovarian cancer who need bowel surgery will be randomly assigned to get either the dye-guided imaging or standard checks. The goal is to see if this technique lowers the chance of serious complications within 30 days after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Indocyanine Green (ICG) dye
What this could lead to
If it works, this could reduce serious bowel leaks after ovarian cancer surgery, leading to fewer complications and better recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a phase III trial, but the dye and imaging system are already used in other surgeries. The main risk is that it may not significantly lower leak rates compared to standard methods.
