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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 testing whether a special type of MRI called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can measure how stiff a meningioma brain tumor is before surgery. Researchers will compare the MRE results with what surgeons find during the operation and with lab tests on the tumor tissue. If it works, this noninvasive scan could help surgeons plan safer and more precise tumor removals.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE)
What this could lead to
If successful, MRE could become a standard noninvasive tool to help surgeons predict tumor consistency and adhesion before operating, potentially improving surgical planning and safety.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. MRE may not accurately predict surgical findings in all cases, and results may not apply to other tumor types or hospitals.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 300 people

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

Started

Oct 2022

Expected to finish

Oct 2027

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

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 80 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * All patients undergoing meningeoma resection surgery are eligible for inclusion in the study cohort. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with metallic implants or foreign bodies in their bodies (pacemakers, artificial metallic heart valves, metal joints, metal implants, and those who can not remove dentures, insulin pumps, or contraceptive rings) * Pregnant women in the first trimester (within three months) * Patients with severe claustrophobia or anxiety * Patients with severe fever * Patients who can not tolerate MRE * Patients with vascular malformations and aneurysms. * Patients who do not sign an informed consent
