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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study uses repeated MRI scans after radiation therapy to see if they can predict normal tissue damage, like bone death (osteoradionecrosis), in patients with oral cavity or skull base tumors. Researchers will track changes in imaging over time and link them to radiation dose. The goal is to find early warning signs of injury, which could help doctors adjust treatment or intervene sooner.

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 doctors predict and prevent radiation-induced bone damage in cancer patients, improving long-term quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is an observational imaging study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct patient benefits, and results may not apply to all patients.

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