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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study compares a new implant with special nanoLOCK technology to standard implants used in neck fusion surgery. The goal is to see if the new implant helps bones heal better and causes fewer swallowing problems. About 200 adults with neck pain or nerve issues will be randomly assigned to receive either the new or standard implant.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Titan nanoLOCK interbody cage (a special implant for neck fusion surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this implant could help bones fuse better after neck surgery and cause fewer swallowing problems than standard implants.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study comparing two surgical devices. The new implant may not prove better, and results may not apply to all patients.
