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 Results may not be published yet.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)

Summary

This study is looking for new biological markers in the fluid that builds up around the lungs (pleural effusion) in people with lung adenocarcinoma. Researchers will compare these markers between cancerous and non-cancerous fluid samples from 100 patients. The goal is to see if these markers can help doctors diagnose lung cancer more accurately.

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 could lead to a new diagnostic test that helps doctors identify lung adenocarcinoma from pleural fluid more accurately.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage biomarker study, not a treatment trial. The markers may not prove reliable enough for routine clinical use.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
