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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 shorter course of hormone therapy (2-3 years) works as well as the standard longer treatment for women with a very low-risk, early-stage breast cancer. About 2,900 women will be randomly assigned to either the shorter or standard treatment. The goal is to see if the shorter option can maintain cancer control while reducing side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
endocrine therapy (hormone-blocking drugs like tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that many women with low-risk breast cancer can safely stop hormone therapy after 2-3 years, reducing side effects and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a large phase 3 trial, but it only includes very low-risk patients, so results may not apply to others. There is a small chance that shorter therapy could lead to higher recurrence rates.
