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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early-phase trial tests an artificial intelligence system that watches live video from pituitary tumor surgeries performed through the nose. The AI identifies anatomy, instruments, and surgical steps, displaying its analysis on tablets for the surgical team (not the lead surgeon). The goal is to improve training and teamwork without disrupting the operation. About 30 adult patients will take part at a single hospital in London.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
AI software (TouchSurgery or NVIDIA AGx/IGx) that analyzes live endoscopic video during surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this AI could help train surgeons more consistently and improve team coordination during pituitary tumor surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a very early feasibility study with only 30 participants. The AI is not yet proven to improve outcomes, and technical issues or surgeon distraction remain possible.
