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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 phase 2 trial tested darolutamide, a drug that blocks male hormones, in 57 people with a rare type of salivary gland cancer that has male hormone receptors. Some patients received darolutamide alone, while others also got goserelin to lower hormone levels. The goal was to see if the tumors shrink and if the treatment is safe.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Darolutamide (and goserelin in one group)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new targeted treatment option for a rare salivary gland cancer that is hard to treat.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 57 participants. The drug may not shrink tumors enough, and side effects like fatigue or hormone-related issues are possible.
