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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can predict the type of ovarian cancer and how well surgery might work by analyzing videos from a diagnostic laparoscopy. Researchers will collect videos from 100 women with advanced ovarian cancer and train an AI to recognize cancer subtypes and surgical complexity. The goal is to help doctors choose between upfront surgery or chemotherapy first, making treatment more personalized.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm analyzing laparoscopy videos
What this could lead to
If successful, this AI tool could help doctors quickly decide the best surgery or chemotherapy approach for each patient, potentially improving outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 100 participants, so the AI may not be accurate enough yet. Results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
