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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 research project tracks men treated with a technology called High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate cancer or an enlarged prostate. The goal is to see how well this treatment controls disease and affects urinary and sexual function over 10 to 20 years. By collecting real-world data from many clinics, the study aims to learn whether HIFU is a reliable, minimally invasive option for these common prostate conditions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) using the Sonablate system
What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could establish evidence-based guidelines for minimally invasive prostate treatments, improving patient care and men's health outcomes.
What could go wrong
As an observational registry, it cannot prove cause and effect. Long-term follow-up over 10-20 years may face data gaps, and results may not apply to all patients.
