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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether wearing tight-fitting surgical gloves and compression knee socks during chemotherapy can prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) in breast cancer patients. The idea is that compression narrows blood vessels, reducing the amount of chemo drugs reaching the hands and feet. Researchers will track 100 patients using surveys, strength tests, and lab work to see if this simple method works.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
compression therapy using surgical gloves and knee socks
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple, low-cost method could prevent painful nerve damage from chemotherapy, helping patients complete treatment with fewer side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (100 people) with no blinding or placebo, so results may not be conclusive. The compression might not work for everyone or could be uncomfortable.

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
