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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests whether an AI tool called ENLIGHT can help pathologists more accurately and quickly distinguish between certain lung and kidney cancer subtypes. Pathologists will review digitized slides under three conditions: without AI, with AI as a double-check after their own diagnosis, and with AI as a first-look before they start. The study aims to see if AI assistance improves diagnostic accuracy, speed, and confidence.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
AI-assisted diagnostic tool (ENLIGHT) used as a double-check or first-look during pathology review
What this could lead to
If AI assistance improves diagnostic accuracy and speed, it could become a standard tool to help pathologists make more precise cancer subtype diagnoses, potentially leading to better treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply broadly. AI might not consistently improve accuracy or could introduce new errors, and its benefit may vary depending on how it's used.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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 25 people

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

Expected to start

Jul 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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

Inclusion Criteria for Pathology Slides (i.e., Cases): * Hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E)-stained pathology slides * Final diagnosis confirmed through molecular testing in conjunction with expert pathology evaluation Exclusion Criteria for Pathology Slides (i.e., Cases): * Poor-quality or unreadable slides * Cases used in AI training Inclusion Criteria for Readers (i.e., Participants): * Board-certified or board-eligible pathologists * Willingness to complete both unaided and AI-assisted review sessions
