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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 compares rinsing the surgical area with chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) versus saline (salt water) during colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if chlorhexidine reduces surgical site infections and other complications within 30 days. About 532 adults with resectable colorectal tumors are being enrolled.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
chlorhexidine solution
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to lower infection risk after colorectal cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-sized trial, but it is not a cure—it tests a routine procedure. The benefit may be small or not apply to all patients.
