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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new approach for people with multiple lung nodules who need surgery for at least one nodule. The method combines robot-assisted CT-guided ablation or localization with a less invasive surgery that avoids a breathing tube. The goal is to see if this combined treatment is safe and can be done successfully, with a focus on reducing complications and speeding up recovery.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 30 people

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18 to 85 years at the time of enrollment. 2. Presence of multiple pulmonary nodules identified on chest computed tomography (CT). 3. At least one dominant pulmonary lesion meeting standard indications for thoracoscopic surgical resection based on radiologic assessment. 4. At least one additional pulmonary nodule for which complete surgical resection is considered undesirable due to lung parenchyma preservation concerns or procedural risk, and deemed suitable for robot-assisted CT-guided percutaneous intervention. 5. Determined by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) to be an appropriate candidate for the predefined hybrid treatment strategy. 6. Eligible for non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery based on preoperative anesthetic evaluation (ASA physical status I-III). 7. Ability to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pulmonary nodules located centrally or adjacent to major airways, major vessels, or the heart, where safe percutaneous intervention is not feasible. 2. Pure ground-glass nodules with a maximum diameter \< 6 mm, for which active surveillance is recommended. 3. Clinical evidence of N1/N2 lymph node involvement or distant metastasis. 4. Severe cardiopulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, or other conditions that preclude thoracoscopic surgery or anesthesia. 5. Coagulation disorders or ongoing anticoagulation therapy that cannot be safely discontinued. 6. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 7. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation unsafe or interfere with study assessments.
