What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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

Summary

This trial tests whether using a patient-specific 3D-printed model of the spine helps surgeons plan screw placement for thoracic or lumbar fractures. Sixteen people with a single broken vertebra will be split into two groups: one using standard CT scans for planning, the other using a 3D-printed model. The goal is to see if the model reduces blood loss, shortens surgery time, and improves screw accuracy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
3D-printed model for preoperative planning
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make spine surgery safer and more precise by helping surgeons plan better before the operation.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 16 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit of 3D models over standard CT scans is still unproven.

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 16 people

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