What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests a new feature on the da Vinci 5 surgical robot that gives surgeons a sense of touch during prostate cancer surgery. 60 patients will take part, with surgeons randomly using the force feedback on or off. The goal is to see if this helps surgeons learn faster and reduces tissue damage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
da Vinci 5 robotic system with force feedback
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that force feedback makes robotic surgery safer and easier to learn, potentially improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 60 patients at one center. The benefits seen may not apply to all surgeons or hospitals, and the force feedback may not significantly improve safety or learning.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Male patients aged ≥19 years. Histologically confirmed localized prostate cancer, clinical stage T1-T3a, N0, M0. Scheduled to undergo robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) at Samsung Medical Center. No radiologic evidence of distant metastasis, and disease deemed surgically resectable via robotic approach. Medically fit for general anesthesia and laparoscopic surgery, classified as ASA physical status I-III. Baseline erectile function preserved, defined as IIEF-5 ≥12 within 6 months prior to surgery. Provided written informed consent for participation after full explanation of the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer (clinical stage ≥T3b, N1, or M1\*\*). Prostate volume ≥60 cc on preoperative MRI, which may complicate robotic dissection standardization. History of pelvic radiotherapy for any malignancy. Previous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or other hormonal therapy for prostate cancer. History of prior prostate surgery, such as TURP or HoLEP. History of spinal cord injury or major pelvic surgery that may alter pelvic anatomy. Medical contraindications to robotic/laparoscopic surgery or general anesthesia (e.g., severe cardiopulmonary disease, ASA ≥ IV). Anatomic limitations (e.g., extreme obesity or deformity) precluding safe robotic access. Device or software malfunction preventing proper activation or deactivation of the Force Feedback system. Any other condition deemed inappropriate for study participation by the principal investigator (e.g., cognitive impairment affecting consent or follow-up).
