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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a new MRI sequence that aims to make brain tumors (metastases) more visible after a standard contrast injection. Researchers will compare the new method to the usual MRI in 100 adults with known or suspected brain tumors. The goal is to see if the new scan finds more or smaller tumors without increasing contrast dose or scan time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Gadolinium-based contrast agent
What this could lead to
If successful, this new MRI method could help doctors find more brain tumors, especially small ones, leading to earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 100 participants. The new method may not detect more tumors than standard MRI, and results may not apply to all patients.
