NCT ID NCT06441773

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a respiratory rehabilitation program—including exercise training, breathing exercises, and education—can improve quality of life for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are on maintenance chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Researchers will compare 96 participants who receive the rehab program twice a week for 8 weeks to a control group receiving standard care. The main goal is to see if the program helps patients feel better and function in daily life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Respiratory rehabilitation (exercise training, breathing exercises, education)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a structured breathing and exercise program helps people with advanced lung cancer feel better and manage daily activities more easily.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (96 people) comparing rehab to usual care. The benefits seen in other lung conditions may not apply here, and the program requires twice-weekly sessions that some may find hard to maintain.
