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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This pilot study will test whether lung cancer patients can use an Apple Watch, a home pulse oximeter, and a smartphone to collect health data during proton beam radiotherapy. About 40 participants will wear the devices from the start of treatment until two weeks after it ends. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable to patients.

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 show that wearable devices are a practical way to monitor patients during cancer treatment, potentially improving care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study focused on feasibility, not treatment outcomes. It may not prove any health benefits or apply to all patients.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Plan for fractionated (≥15 treatments) proton beam thoracic radiotherapy with curative intent for lung cancer * Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC) histology is permitted. * Concurrent chemotherapy is permitted but not required.. * Previous thoracic radiotherapy is allowed. * Ability to complete study surveys in English or Spanish * Age \>/= 18 * Concurrent enrollment on other trials is permitted * Patients who already use wearable devices and/or smartphones that monitor physical activity are eligible for this trial, provided they agree to utilize the devices provided by the study team during the study period * All patients must sign study-specific informed consent prior to study entry Exclusion Criteria: * Ongoing treatment for another cancer that is expected to affect the toxicity profile of thoracic radiotherapy * Pregnancy or women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception; this exclusion is necessary because the treatment involved in this study may be significantly teratogenic
