What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This completed study tested a low-power microwave imaging system on 50 healthy women aged 18-74. The goal was to see if the electrical properties of breast tissue match up with breast density seen on mammograms. Each participant had both breasts scanned six times. The results could help create a safer, radiation-free method for breast screening.

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 help develop a new, radiation-free way to assess breast density, potentially improving breast cancer screening.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 50 participants. It does not test a treatment, and the results may not lead to a practical screening tool.

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