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 Results may not be published yet.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 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is testing new ways to use MRI and CT scans to improve radiation therapy planning and tumor response checks. About 837 adults, including healthy volunteers and cancer patients, will undergo extra scans over time. The goal is to see if these advanced imaging methods can make radiation treatment more precise, but the study does not change the patient's current treatment plan.

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 improve how doctors plan radiation treatment and monitor tumors, leading to more precise and effective therapy.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage imaging study focused on feasibility, not treatment. It may not directly improve patient outcomes or change current care.
