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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study will compare two types of scans—PET/CT and CT—to see which is better at finding distant spread of breast cancer. About 97 patients with advanced breast cancer will receive both scans within a few weeks. The goal is to improve early staging and guide treatment to improve survival and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
F18-FDG (a radioactive tracer used in PET/CT scans)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that PET/CT is more accurate than standard CT for finding cancer spread, leading to better treatment decisions and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (97 participants) that has not yet started recruiting. Results may not apply to all breast cancer patients, and the tracer involves radiation exposure.
