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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested whether a special MRI sequence called ZTE can show breast biopsy markers made of bone cement more clearly than standard metal markers. Twenty adults with breast cancer had MRI scans, and two radiologists rated how well the markers were seen. The goal is to improve follow-up imaging for breast cancer 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 improve how doctors see breast biopsy markers on MRI, potentially making follow-up scans clearer and safer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed imaging study with only 20 participants. It does not test a treatment, so any benefits are limited to better imaging, not disease outcomes.
