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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looks at how to safely place a breathing tube in people with acromegaly, a condition that can cause changes in the face and airway. It compares two methods: direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy. The goal is to find which method gives a better view of the airway and reduces difficulty during intubation. Adults with acromegaly or nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas who need surgery under general anesthesia will take part.

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 lead to better intubation guidelines for acromegaly patients, reducing complications during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study with only 40 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. It does not test a new treatment.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
