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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial evaluates a decision-support software designed to help surgeons choose the optimal sequence of treatments for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. Surgeons will review simulated patient cases, first making a treatment plan on their own, then seeing the software's recommendation and deciding whether to change their plan. The study measures how often decisions change, decision confidence, time taken, and user experience. The goal is to see if the software improves consistency and supports surgical reasoning.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Decision-support software for surgical sequencing
What this could lead to
If effective, this software could help surgeons make more consistent and informed decisions about the order of treatments for colorectal liver metastases, potentially improving patient outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small simulation study with only 12 surgeons, so results may not reflect real-world practice. The software's recommendations may not always align with clinical judgment or improve actual patient outcomes.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Participants

About 12 people

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

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Oct 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.

Who is studied

This study will enroll physicians from three tertiary academic medical centers in China, including hepatobiliary surgeons and colorectal surgeons with varying levels of clinical experience. Participants will be required to complete standardized simulation-based case evaluations involving surgical decision-making for colorectal cancer liver metastases. The study aims to assess changes in decision-making behavior, confidence, and usability of a decision-support software system.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
