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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 phase II trial tests whether ultra low dose radiation can control skin lesions in people with mycosis fungoides, a type of lymphoma. About 50 participants will receive very low doses of radiation to their skin lesions. The goal is to see if this gentler approach works as well as standard radiation but with fewer 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
ultra low dose radiation therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a gentler radiation option that controls skin lesions in mycosis fungoides with fewer side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (50 people) testing a lower radiation dose, so it may not work as well as standard doses or may still cause side effects.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with pathologically confirmed MF with cutaneous involvement. * Patients must have clinically measurable disease of at least 1 lesion on physical (skin) exam. * If a patient has a prior pathological diagnosis of MF and is clinically diagnosed with a new lesion, the new lesion is eligible for enrollment without additionally biopsy confirmation. * Lesions of any surface span as long as =\< 1 cm in maximal height measured from the skin surface for which local control is desired are eligible; a single patient may have multiple eligible lesions that are individually enrolled for the study. * All stages of disease (IA through IVB) where radiation therapy is being considered for local control are eligible. Patients who are concomitantly undergoing systemic therapy for more advanced stage disease are eligible. * Patients who are concomitantly undergoing systemic therapy for more advanced stage disease are eligible. * Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test (beta human chorionic gonadotropin \[hCG\]) within 2 weeks of protocol entry if the patient is unsure of their pregnancy status. Patient signature declaring that they are not pregnant on the informed consent for treatment that is used in the Department of Radiation Oncology is also an acceptable substitution for a serum pregnancy test. * Patients who are receiving or are planned to start topical chemotherapeutics, retinoids or imiquimod to other lesions that are not planned for enrollment are eligible; however, the lesion being considered for enrollment should not be under active therapy with these topical agents immediately prior to enrollment. * Use of topical chemotherapeutics, retinoids or imiquimod on the lesion that is a candidate for enrollment must be halted at least 24 hours prior to enrollment in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant patients do not meet inclusion criteria for radiation therapy. * Patients who subsequently become pregnant may continue follow up within the protocol, but a negative urine pregnancy test will need to be obtained before additional lesions may be enrolled. * Patients with active lupus or scleroderma * Lesions with a height \> 1 cm measured from the skin surface are not eligible for this protocol.
