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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study tested injecting bleomycin directly into cystic hygromas (fluid-filled birthmarks) in 30 children aged 1 month to 12 years. The fluid was drained and bleomycin injected, repeated every 4 weeks until the lump shrank. Most children saw significant size reduction, with some having complete shrinkage. This offers a potential alternative to surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bleomycin
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a non-surgical way to shrink cystic hygromas in children, reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with no control group, so results may not apply to all patients. Bleomycin can cause side effects like skin changes or lung issues, though rare with local injection.
