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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 is a large registry that collects health and genetic information from people with a personal or family history of pancreatic tumors. The goal is to find the genes and other factors that cause pancreatic cancer to run in some families. By studying thousands of participants, researchers hope to identify new inherited risk genes and better understand why up to 10% of patients have a close relative with the disease.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could identify new genes that raise pancreatic cancer risk in families, potentially leading to earlier detection and better screening for at-risk relatives.
What could go wrong
As a registry study, it does not test a treatment, so it cannot directly change outcomes. Findings may take years to translate into clinical practice, and not all families will have a clear genetic cause identified.
