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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study will compare two simulation technologies used to train healthcare teams in newborn resuscitation at rural hospitals. One uses a mixed reality headset (HoloBaby), the other uses a traditional high-fidelity mannequin. About 400 doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists from rural hospitals will participate. The goal is to see if the newer, potentially cheaper technology works just as well as the standard approach.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that mixed reality training is as effective as traditional high-tech simulators, potentially making high-quality training more accessible and affordable for rural hospitals.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage comparative study, not testing a treatment. Results may not show a clear advantage, and the technology might not be practical or cost-effective in real-world rural settings.
