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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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.

Summary

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and monitor histiocytosis, a rare disease that causes abnormal cell growth, in children under 18. Researchers will use a special imaging agent called fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) in PET-CT scans, along with genetic testing of tumor tissue and blood. The goal is to see how well these methods track the disease over time, potentially leading to earlier detection and better outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better, earlier detection of histiocytosis in children and more precise monitoring of the disease.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center, early-phase trial focused on imaging, not treatment. The results may not apply broadly, and the imaging agent carries standard radiation risks.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient under 18 years of age at the time of inclusion. 2. Histopathologically confirmed or suspected histiocytosis (based on prior test results). 3. Signing of informed consent for trial participation according with current legal regulations. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Lack of inclusion criteria. 2. Pregnancy. 3. Other acute or persistent disorders, behaviors or abnormal laboratory test results, which might increase the risk related to the participation in this clinical trial or to taking the study drug, or which might influence the interpretation of the study results, or which, in the investigator's opinion, disqualify a patient from participating in the trial.
