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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study follows 200 patients with pancreatic tumors who receive a procedure called pancreatic radiofrequency. The treatment uses a needle inserted through the stomach or intestine to heat and destroy tumor cells. Researchers will check if the tumors shrink or stop growing over 5 years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pancreatic radiofrequency (a procedure using heat via a needle to destroy tumor cells)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that radiofrequency is an effective way to control pancreatic tumors, offering a less invasive option for some patients.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so it cannot prove the procedure works better than other treatments. Results may take years and might not apply to all patients.

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