NCT ID NCT04677309

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study uses lung ultrasound to measure how the lungs change after surgery to remove part of a lung due to cancer. Researchers will check lung aeration before surgery, right after, and 24 hours later in about 32 adults. They aim to see if ultrasound findings relate to oxygen levels and other health markers.

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 help doctors better predict and manage lung complications after surgery using a simple ultrasound.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It is observational, not testing a treatment.

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