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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether a specialized PET/CT scan using a radioactive tracer can more accurately determine the extent of muscle-invasive bladder cancer compared to standard CT scans. It will also explore whether changes seen on a follow-up scan after two cycles of chemotherapy can predict how well the tumor responds to treatment. The study enrolls 60 adults with newly diagnosed, high-grade muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are eligible for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
18F-FDG PET/CT imaging
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging approach could improve how bladder cancer is staged and help predict whether chemotherapy is working, potentially guiding more personalized treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-center study. The imaging technique may not prove more accurate than current methods, and results may not apply to broader populations.
