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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This trial evaluates the Bitrack robotic system, designed to assist surgeons during laparoscopic kidney removal (partial or total) and prostate removal. The study includes 15 adults scheduled for these surgeries. The goal is to check if the robot works safely and effectively, as rated by the surgeon.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Bitrack System, a robotic surgical device used for laparoscopic kidney and prostate surgeries
What this could lead to
If successful, this robotic system could offer a safe and effective option for minimally invasive kidney and prostate surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The system could fail or cause complications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult subjects between 18 and 90 years old who have provided written informed consent prior to any clinical investigation related procedures. 2. Subjects who have been scheduled for a laparoscopic Radical/simple Nephrectomy surgery, laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy or laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy following the surgeon criteria. 3. Ability and willingness to comply with all study requirements to be evaluated for each study visit. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women at the time of the surgery. 2. Subjects with severe concomitant illness that, at PI´s discretion, increases risk of therapeutic interventions or that have been submitted to multiple prior surgeries. 3. Subjects admitted to the hospital due to an emergency situation. 4. Subjects with untreated active infection. 5. Subject with known allergy to some of the device components (i.e., stainless steel, etc.) 6. Subjects not suitable to undergo MIS/MIRS, according to medical criteria. 7. Subjects with life expectancy inferior to 3 months. 8. Subjects with a BMI ≥ 40. 9. Subjects with any contraindication for the use of the Bitrack System and the ESE/NESE instruments, as specified in the Instructions For Use. 10. Subjects with abuses of active substances or with uncontrolled psychiatric disorders. 11. Subjects with severe cardiopulmonary or coronary artery disease, bleeding disorders or that have been submitted to multiple prior operations. 12. Subjects scheduled for surgeries intended to be in direct contact with the heart, the central circulatory system or the central nervous system. 13. Inability to adhere to study-related procedures. 14. Subjects who participate in another trial which may affect the outcome data on this study or the ability to complete the follow up requirements.
