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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether using a SPECT scan to map healthy, working lung tissue can help doctors aim radiation away from those areas during treatment for advanced lung cancer. The goal is to reduce lung damage and side effects like breathing problems. About 90 people with lung cancer who are getting radiation with or without chemotherapy will take part.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Dec 2021

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * histologically verified lung cancer (small-cell and non-small cell lung cancer) * referred for radiotherapy with curative intent * radiation dose of 60-66 Gy given in 2-Gy fractions, other dose levels and fractionation schedules accepted, as per site standard * concurrent chemotherapy is accepted * patients with oligometastatic disease are allowed, where metastasis have been ablated with surgery or radiotherapy * receiving (chemo)-radiotherapy to the thoracic disease with curative intent * adults over 18, that have given oral and written informed consent before patient registration. Exclusion Criteria: * concurrent immunotherapy * previous radiotherapy to the thorax * other uncontrolled malignancies; any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol
