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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial evaluates a new laryngeal mask airway device, called the LMA Protector, for managing breathing during surgery. It will involve 40 adults undergoing elective gynecological procedures where an LMA is indicated. Researchers will measure how easily the device can be inserted and how well it seals the airway, aiming to see if it offers advantages over current options.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
LMA Protector, a new laryngeal mask airway device used to manage breathing during surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could offer a more reliable and safer way to manage airways during surgery, reducing complications and improving patient outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device may not perform better than existing airway devices, and there are inherent risks like sore throat or injury.

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

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

40 people

The number who actually took part.

Start date

Jan 2014

Finished

Dec 2015

Lead sponsor

A government agency

The lead sponsor is a government body.

Who can take part

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

Ages

21 to 70 years

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.
