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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study looks at men with good-prognosis metastatic testicular cancer to see if surgery (RPLND) leads to a better quality of life than chemotherapy. About 160 men over 18 will be followed to measure side effects and daily well-being. The goal is to find which treatment causes fewer long-term problems.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
primary retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) and chemotherapy (Bleomycin, Etoposide, Platinum)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that surgery causes fewer side effects than chemotherapy for certain testicular cancers, helping guide treatment choices.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by other factors. It is also relatively small and early-stage.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 160 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Mar 2032

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Male participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients ≥18 years undergoing an open or minimally invasive primary retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) due to seminoma stage II A/B (maximum 2 nodes, \<30 mm in any dimension) * Patients undergoing an open or minimally invasive primary RPLND due to a retroperitoneal relapse of seminoma (maximum 2 nodes, \<30 mm in any dimension) * Patients ≥18 years scheduled for 3-4 courses of chemotherapy due to a newly diagnosed good-prognosis metastatic germ cell tumor (nonseminoma or seminoma) Exclusion Criteria: * Previous chemotherapy (including adjuvant chemotherapy at diagnosis) * Previous RPLND * Practical considerations, such as not being able to read and sign informed consent or understand the questionnaires
