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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial compares two surgical methods for repairing distal hypospadias, a birth defect where the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis. One technique is called glandular urethral disassembly (GUD), and the other is the tubularized incised plate (TIP) method. The study will measure how long children stay in the hospital after surgery and compare outcomes between the two groups.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
surgical procedure (glandular urethral disassembly or tubularized incised plate technique)
What this could lead to
If one technique proves better, it could become the preferred method for repairing distal hypospadias, potentially reducing hospital stays and improving surgical outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with only 86 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both techniques are established, so major breakthroughs are unlikely.
