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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tested the drug pazopanib against a standard chemotherapy combination (vinblastine and methotrexate) in 72 adults with progressive desmoid tumors. Desmoid tumors are non-cancerous but can grow aggressively and come back after surgery. The study measured how many patients stayed alive and tumor-free at 6 months. Pazopanib is a daily pill that blocks blood vessel growth, while the comparison treatment is given by injection. The goal is to find a less invasive way to control these tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pazopanib (a targeted cancer drug taken as a pill)
What this could lead to
If it works, pazopanib could offer a new, pill-based option to control desmoid tumors without surgery or stronger chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial with only 72 people, so results are preliminary. Pazopanib may not work better than existing treatments and can cause side effects like fatigue, high blood pressure, and liver issues.
