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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
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 tested whether drinking a mix of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) a few hours before colorectal cancer surgery could help prevent high blood sugar afterward. About 79 patients were split into two groups: one got a BCAA drink, the other plain water. The goal was to see if the BCAA group had fewer blood sugar spikes. However, the trial was stopped early, so we don't have clear answers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
branched-chain amino acids (BCAA)
What this could lead to
If it worked, this could point toward a simple way to lower blood sugar spikes after colorectal cancer surgery, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. It was a small study (79 people) and only tested a short-term effect, so any benefit is uncertain.
