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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial compares two ways of using AI to help new ICU residents learn: a specialized AI tutor (ICU-Tutor) that only answers based on the hospital's own approved protocols, versus free use of general AI tools like ChatGPT. About 44 first-time ICU residents will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The goal is to see which approach reduces mental workload and improves how quickly and accurately residents complete ICU tasks. Results could guide how AI is used in medical training.

Active substance
ICU-Tutor AI Agent
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could improve how medical trainees learn complex ICU protocols, potentially reducing errors and improving patient care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 44 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The AI tutor is limited to one hospital's protocols, and its benefits over general AI tools may be modest or absent.

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 44 people

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

Started

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.
