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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether a video-assisted supraglottic airway device helps doctors insert a breathing tube more successfully on the first try compared to a conventional device. The study involves 204 adults undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia. Neither device uses a fiberoptic scope, which is often unavailable. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to manage airways in routine surgeries.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Video-assisted supraglottic airway device (SaCo VLM) and conventional intubating supraglottic airway device (AirQ)
What this could lead to
If video-assisted devices prove more reliable, they could become a safer, easier option for airway management when fiberoptic tools are unavailable.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 204 participants, so results may not apply to all settings. The devices are compared only in elective surgeries, not emergencies.

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 204 people

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

Expected to start

Aug 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Aug 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor
