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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether eating only within an 8-hour window (time-restricted eating) can improve how well cancer treatments work and reduce side effects. It involves 100 Alaska Native and American Indian patients with breast or rectal cancer. Participants will follow the eating plan while receiving standard treatment, and researchers will track tumor response and side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
time-restricted eating
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, sustainable way to boost cancer treatment effectiveness and reduce side effects without strict dieting.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Time-restricted eating may be hard to maintain for some, and its benefits are not yet proven.
