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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looks at how different doses of the drug cabergoline affect blood sugar control in people with prolactinoma, a type of pituitary tumor. Researchers will randomly assign 60 adults to different treatment strategies and measure their glucose levels after a sugar drink. The goal is to find the best dose to manage the tumor while keeping metabolism healthy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cabergoline (a dopamine agonist drug)
What this could lead to
If successful, this trial could help doctors choose the best cabergoline dose to manage prolactinoma while minimizing negative effects on blood sugar.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (60 people) comparing different doses of an existing drug, not testing a new cure. Results may not apply to all patients, and cabergoline can cause side effects like nausea or dizziness.
