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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tested a robotic system called EPIONE that helps doctors guide needles into bones during CT scans. The robot is used for procedures like biopsies, tumor treatments, and bone repairs. Researchers wanted to see if the robot could make these procedures safer and more accurate. The study included 34 adults who needed a bone procedure under general anesthesia.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
EPIONE robotic system
What this could lead to
If successful, this robotic system could make bone procedures more precise and reduce the need for manual adjustments during CT-guided treatments.
What could go wrong
This was a small, early feasibility study with only 34 participants. The results may not apply to all patients or procedures, and robotic assistance may not always improve outcomes.

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.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Who can take part

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

Ages

18 years and older

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: 1. Patient ≥18 years, 2. Patient with indication of CT-guided percutaneous bone procedure under general anaesthesia validated at a multidisciplinary consultation meeting, 3. Patient who has signed an informed consent form, 4. Patient covered by a social security system, Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient with contraindication to general anaesthesia, 2. Patient undergoing a procedure without appropriate breathing control, 3. Patient scheduled for CT-guided percutaneous procedures on head and neck, including skull and cervical vertebrae, 4. Patient with medical, psychosocial or emotional conditions unable to fully understand the study protocol, give an uninfluenced informed consent, or meet the study requirements during its whole duration. 5.
