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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is testing whether a less invasive procedure called target axillary dissection (TAD) can accurately check for cancer spread in the lymph nodes of people with locally advanced breast cancer after chemotherapy. The goal is to see if TAD can replace more extensive lymph node removal, which often causes long-term side effects like arm swelling. The study will enroll 162 participants and compare TAD results with standard full lymph node removal.

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 could validate a less invasive surgical approach for advanced breast cancer, potentially reducing arm swelling and other complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. The method may not be accurate enough to replace standard surgery.
