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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a magnetic tracer and clip to mark lymph nodes before chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. The goal is to see if this method can reliably find the sentinel lymph node during surgery after chemo. About 459 adults with breast cancer will take part. The approach could make surgery more precise and avoid radioactive tracers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Magtrace (superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles) and Magseed magnetic clip
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make sentinel lymph node surgery after chemotherapy more reliable and less invasive for breast cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase study focused on detection rates, not on curing cancer. The magnetic tracer may not work as well as standard methods, and some patients cannot have it due to MRI needs or allergies.
