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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at whether blocking the blood supply to desmoid tumors (using tiny particles injected into the arteries) can shrink the tumor and reduce pain without using chemotherapy. It will follow 20 people aged 12 and older who have painful, growing desmoid tumors that cannot be treated with surgery or freezing. The goal is to see if this gentler approach works and improves quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
embolization therapy (injection of hydrogel microspheres into tumor-feeding arteries)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a chemo-free way to shrink desmoid tumors and ease pain, potentially avoiding surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study (20 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include incomplete tumor shrinkage or side effects from the procedure.
