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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is collecting tissue and fluid samples from 160 people with suspected liver, bile duct, or pancreatic cancers. Researchers want to understand these cancers better and test new imaging and sampling tools for earlier, more accurate diagnosis. The study does not test a new treatment, but aims to pave the way for future diagnostic technologies.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could lead to new technologies for earlier and more accurate diagnosis of hard-to-detect liver, bile duct, and pancreatic cancers.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The new diagnostic tools are still being developed and may not prove effective in practice.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
