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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study tests a peer-led program designed to help Black Veterans at high risk for lung cancer get screened. Veterans who have not yet had lung cancer screening will receive group orientations and one-on-one support from a peer to navigate the process. The study aims to see if this community-based approach is feasible and acceptable, and whether it increases screening uptake and tobacco treatment use.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Veterans peer connect program (peer-led community outreach and navigation)
What this could lead to
If effective, this peer-led outreach model could increase early detection of lung cancer among Black Veterans, potentially reducing deaths from this disease.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (3 participants) focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. Results may not generalize, and the program's impact on screening uptake remains uncertain.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

3 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Feb 2025

Finished

Oct 2025

50 to 80 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers
