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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

Researchers at Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Portsmouth want to know whether they can measure breast biomechanics in women treated for early breast cancer. The study includes 45 women who have had surgery, with or without radiotherapy, for cancer in one breast. Participants visit a breast biomechanics laboratory, where researchers collect data on how the treated breast and the untreated breast move and are supported. The goal is to see if this kind of testing is practical and whether it can detect differences caused by surgery and radiotherapy.

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 the methods work, this could lead to better bra fitting and breast support advice for women after breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study of 45 women at one site, so it may not recruit enough participants or produce data that applies to all breast cancer patients.
