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

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

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 early-phase trial is testing a new approach for people with liver metastases (cancer that has spread to the liver from elsewhere). Doctors are using a procedure called TACE to deliver the drug bevacizumab directly into the liver's blood vessels, aiming to concentrate the treatment where it's needed most. The study will enroll 40 participants to see if this method is safe and improves survival.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Bevacizumab (a drug that slows blood vessel growth) delivered directly to liver tumors via a procedure called TACE
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with liver metastases that haven't responded to other therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination of bevacizumab and TACE is new and could have unexpected side effects.
