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
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 Results may not be published yet.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 This study
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study aimed to see if contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) could predict how well triple-negative breast cancer patients respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Researchers planned to measure tumor volume and blood flow changes with CEUS before and during treatment. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are available.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Lumason (contrast agent)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a faster, non-invasive way to see if breast cancer treatment is working, potentially guiding therapy changes earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study that was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data exists. The approach may not prove reliable compared to standard imaging.
