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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study compares two types of mesh used to repair a hidden hernia on the opposite side during surgery for a painful hernia. The goal is to see if a biologic mesh, made from pig tissue, causes less chronic pain at 6 months than a standard synthetic mesh. About 90 adults with one painful hernia and one hidden hernia will take part. The results could help surgeons choose the best material to improve long-term comfort.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Biologic mesh (porcine urinary bladder matrix and small intestinal submucosa) and synthetic mesh (self-gripping polyester)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that biologic mesh causes less long-term pain and discomfort for people with hidden hernias, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 90 participants. Previous studies found biologic mesh may have higher recurrence and complication rates, so results may not favor it.

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 90 people

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

Expected to start

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 to 80 years * Unilateral symptomatic inguinal hernia with contralateral asymptomatic hernia (diagnosed either preoperatively as a clinically asymptomatic hernia or intraoperatively as an occult hernia) * Planned for laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair and consent to simultaneous repair of the contralateral asymptomatic hernia * Written informed consent obtained Exclusion Criteria: * Incarcerated or strangulated hernia requiring emergency surgery * Inability to receive porcine-derived devices (religious or ethnic reasons) * Participation in other interventional trials within the last 6 months * Acute systemic infection or skin disease near the surgical site * Chronic pain syndrome or long-term use of analgesic medications * Pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or breastfeeding * Any condition judged by the investigator as unsuitable for trial participation
