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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.

Summary

This study compares two types of back surgery for teens and young adults with scoliosis (a curved spine). One is the standard open surgery, and the other is a newer, minimally invasive approach that uses smaller cuts and advanced imaging. The goal is to see if the less invasive method is just as safe and effective, while possibly reducing pain, blood loss, and hospital stay. The trial will follow 180 participants for two years after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that minimally invasive surgery is as safe and effective as open surgery, leading to less pain, less blood loss, and faster recovery for scoliosis patients.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (180 participants) that hasn't started recruiting yet. Minimally invasive surgery is technically challenging, and it may not achieve the same curve correction or have higher complication rates than open surgery.

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.

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2030

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor
