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

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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tested whether a 3-week home exercise program before lung cancer surgery could help patients recover more quickly. 90 patients with lung cancer and COPD were split into two groups: one received only chest physiotherapy, the other added home exercise training. Researchers measured hospital stay length and complication rates to see if the extra exercise made a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
preoperative chest physiotherapy and home exercise training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a simple home exercise program before lung cancer surgery helps patients recover faster and have fewer complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 90 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is non-drug and outcomes depend on patient effort.
