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
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 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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tracks 42 people with ocular melanoma who received radiation therapy via eye plaque brachytherapy. Researchers want to see if using lower radiation doses can still keep the cancer from coming back while reducing harmful side effects. The goal is to find the safest effective dose.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
eye plaque brachytherapy (radiation therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that lower radiation doses are just as effective at controlling ocular melanoma while causing fewer side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational registry, not a randomized trial. It may not prove that lower doses are better, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients 18 years of age or older with unilateral primary choroidal melanoma * Patients with diagnosis of small or medium ocular melanomas amenable to plaque brachytherapy (as determined by treating ocular oncologist). Typically this would include tumors with apical height ≤10mm and basal diameter ≤16mm (small and medium tumors per COMS (Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study) * Patients with no clinical evidence of metastatic disease as confirmed by negative staging imaging (CT, MRI, and/or ultrasound) * Patients with best-corrected visual acuity in the fellow eye of 20/200 or better * Patients must be treated with IsoAid Eye Physics eye plaques Exclusion Criteria: * Patients whose tumors are circumferential around the optic disc and cannot be adequately covered by the prescription dose are ineligible. * Similarly, patients with extrascleral tumor extension detected during echography or clinical exam, diffuse, ring or multifocal tumors that cannot be encompassed in a single episcleral plaque or tumors judged to be predominantly ciliary body or iris melanoma will be considered ineligible * Previous treatment for ocular melanoma in either eye or treatment of any condition secondary to the tumor are ineligible. * Patients with a history of other primary or metastatic cancers are not eligible, except for non-melanotic skin cancers * Patients with extraocular disease
