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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether free, open-source software can create 3D models of the lungs to help surgeons during lung cancer surgery. 13 patients scheduled for lung surgery had their CT scans turned into 3D reconstructions. The goal was to see if these models were easy for surgeons to use and accurate compared to standard 2D scans.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
open-source software for 3D lung reconstruction
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make 3D lung models widely available without expensive commercial software, potentially improving surgical precision.
What could go wrong
This was a very small study (13 patients) focused on usability, not on patient outcomes. Larger trials are needed to confirm any real benefit.
