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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing whether a camera capsule that you swallow can be used as a first step to check for colorectal cancer, instead of going straight to a colonoscopy. The capsule takes pictures as it travels through your gut, and if it finds something suspicious, you would still need a colonoscopy. The goal is to see if this approach is less uncomfortable for patients and costs less for the healthcare system. About 800 adults with bowel symptoms will take part.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Colon capsule endoscopy (a swallowed camera capsule)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a less invasive, more comfortable first step for colorectal cancer screening, reducing the need for many colonoscopies.
What could go wrong
This is a cost-effectiveness study, not a test of a new treatment. The capsule cannot remove polyps or treat cancer, so many patients will still need a colonoscopy. Results may not apply to all populations.
