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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at how a laser that makes tiny holes in the skin might help protect against skin cancer. Researchers want to find out where certain skin cells come from after this laser treatment. They are recruiting 12 adults who are already scheduled for tummy tuck surgery to study the treated skin. The goal is to understand the basic science behind the laser's protective effect.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Fractionated Laser Resurfacing (a device that creates tiny holes in the top layer of skin)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could reveal how laser treatment rejuvenates skin and may point toward new ways to prevent skin cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study (12 people) focused on understanding cell origins, not on proving cancer prevention. Results may not lead to a treatment.

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.

Participants

About 12 people

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

Started

Jul 2025

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

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.

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.

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: * Adult males and females 18 and older * Able to comprehend procedures and risks * Planning to undergo abdominoplasty surgery * Minimum amount of skin to be removed is 50 x 20cm Exclusion Criteria: * Medical history of not well-controlled diabetes. This is defined as a subject who needs high doses of insulin, recent history of hospitalization for diabetes-related complications, or poor wound health as evidenced by diabetic ulcers. Subjects who have been deemed healthy enough for abdominoplasty surgery would tend to suggest that their diabetes should not be an issue. However, if the subjects have diabetic complications as outlined above, they could affect the wound healing which is the object of this protocol so they would be excluded. * Pregnant or nursing * History of pathologically abnormal wound healing such as keloidal scars * Existing tattoos on the abdomen that are so extensive that they could interfere with the study
