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 Results may not be published yet.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

This phase 2 trial is testing a new formulation of the chemotherapy drug carmustine that doesn't contain ethanol, compared to the standard version that does. Both are used as part of the BEAM conditioning regimen before an autologous stem cell transplant in adults with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The study aims to see if the ethanol-free version causes fewer infusion-related and other serious side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
carmustine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a safer version of a standard chemotherapy drug used in stem cell transplants for lymphoma, reducing side effects from the ethanol solvent.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 trial with only 49 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The new formulation might not reduce toxicities as hoped, or could have unexpected risks.
