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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 special type of scan called SPECT/CT can help doctors make better decisions about treating kidney tumors. The scan uses a radioactive tracer to see how tumors behave. Researchers will check if the scan changes what doctors recommend for 102 patients with new kidney tumors. The goal is to see if this less invasive method can guide treatment choices.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Technetium Tc-99m sestamibi (a radioactive tracer used in imaging)
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging method could help doctors decide on the best treatment for kidney tumors without needing invasive biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on decision-making, not treatment outcomes. The imaging may not change decisions as expected, and results may not apply to all kidney tumor types.
