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.

Summary

This pilot study tested different outreach methods—like automated calls, texts, and emails—to encourage parents in rural areas to get their children (ages 9-17) the HPV vaccine. The study involved 335 parents and caregivers at four community clinics in rural Washington. The main goal was to see if a larger, full-scale trial is possible, not yet to prove the outreach works.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral intervention (automated calls, texts, emails, mailings, live calls)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more rural children get the HPV vaccine, reducing cancer risk in underserved communities.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot trial focused on feasibility, not on proving the intervention works. Results may not apply to other settings or populations.
