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
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 Results may not be published yet.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 This study
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.

Summary

This pilot study tests a new software platform called SOAR that uses AI to analyze videos of surgeries and give feedback to surgical trainees. About 100 participants, including residents and attending surgeons at Johns Hopkins, will use the app to review their own operations and receive structured comments from experts. The goal is to see if the platform is easy to use and helpful for learning, not to change patient care directly.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
SOAR Webapp (video review and feedback platform)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new way to train surgeons more effectively using video and AI feedback.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study focused on feasibility, not on proving that the platform improves surgical outcomes. It may not show clear benefits or be scalable.
