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 Results may not be published yet.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 tests a new imaging agent called pHLIP ICG that makes breast cancer cells glow during surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see and remove all cancerous tissue more accurately. The trial involves 55 adults with early-stage breast cancer who have not had prior treatment. It is the first human test of this agent, so safety is a key focus.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pHLIP ICG (a fluorescent imaging agent)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons remove breast cancer more completely during surgery by highlighting cancerous tissue that might otherwise be missed.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial (Phase I/IIa) testing the safety and effectiveness of pHLIP ICG for the first time in humans. It may not improve surgical outcomes, and there are risks of side effects from the imaging agent.
