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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at how giving fluids during robotic prostatectomy affects patient outcomes. It compares two approaches: one guided by a special monitor (LiDCO) that tracks blood flow in real time, and the other using standard clinical judgment. The researchers will measure the total fluids given and track blood lactate levels and vasopressor use to see if the guided approach leads to better results. The study includes 48 men aged 18 to 80 undergoing this surgery, and it does not assign treatments, just observes what happens in routine practice.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
LiDCO-guided goal-directed fluid therapy versus conventional fluid therapy
What this could lead to
If the LiDCO-guided approach reduces excess fluids and improves recovery, it could become a standard for robotic prostatectomy, leading to fewer complications and shorter hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 48 participants, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other surgeries or hospitals, and the LiDCO monitor has its own limitations.
