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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program can help head and neck cancer patients maintain or improve muscle mass after chemoradiotherapy. Researchers will use imaging and blood tests to see if changes in muscle and inflammation markers can predict patient prognosis. The study involves 60 participants, half doing HIIT and half as a control group.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that exercise helps maintain muscle mass and may improve outcomes for head and neck cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study. Results may not apply to all patients, and exercise may not be feasible for everyone.
