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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study at Johns Hopkins University is looking at how aging cells (senescent cells) contribute to uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths in the uterus. Researchers will analyze tissue samples from 150 women with fibroids to map these cells and their signals. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could point toward new ways to treat or prevent uterine fibroids by targeting aging cells.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead directly to therapies, and findings may not apply to all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
