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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This early-phase trial tested a combination of two drugs—copanlisib and nivolumab—in 48 adults with advanced solid tumors, specifically a type of colorectal cancer called MSS that usually doesn't respond to immunotherapy alone. The goal was to see if the combination could shrink tumors and to find the safest dose. The study is now complete, and results will help guide future research.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Copanlisib and nivolumab
What this could lead to
If this combination works, it could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced MSS colorectal cancer, a type that typically does not respond to immunotherapy alone.
What could go wrong
This was an early-phase trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drugs can cause serious side effects like lung inflammation and liver problems.
