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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests a mobile app called ADAPTS designed to help teenagers and young adults with leukemia remember to take their oral chemotherapy. The app sends personalized messages based on the user's mood, pain, or location. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and acceptable to patients, not yet to measure health outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ADAPTS mobile app intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a practical tool to help young patients take their chemotherapy as prescribed, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a very early feasibility study with only 60 participants, so it won't prove the app improves health. Technical glitches or low engagement may limit its usefulness.
