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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 observational study tests a new sensor that measures oxygen levels in tissue flaps during reconstructive surgery. The sensor is placed in the flap and tracks oxygen saturation continuously, comparing it to blood samples and key surgical events. The goal is to see if this technology can reliably detect changes in blood flow, which could help surgeons prevent complications. The study involves 30 adults undergoing flap reconstruction.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
SpectroCor Monitoring System (a spectroscopic sensor that measures tissue oxygen saturation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a reliable way to monitor tissue flaps during surgery, potentially reducing the risk of flap failure and improving surgical outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so it may not prove the sensor's effectiveness. The sensor is experimental and could have technical issues or cause discomfort.
