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

Ongoing This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study tests whether a gentle reminder to doctors can increase referrals to gynecologic oncology for women with suspicious ovarian masses. Researchers will send a message to ordering providers within 48 hours of imaging results, encouraging them to refer patients. The study includes 20 women and compares results to past patients to see if the nudge helps more women see a specialist within 30 days.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Nudge (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple reminder helps more patients see a specialist quickly, potentially improving ovarian cancer outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It tests a process, not a treatment, so direct health benefits are uncertain.

Jan 2024

Expected to finish

May 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
