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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether using Ovitex mesh during robotic surgery can reduce the chance of a large hiatal hernia coming back. About 100 adults with large or paraesophageal hernias will receive the mesh-reinforced repair. Researchers will track hernia recurrence and any mesh-related problems over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Ovitex LPR mesh (a permanent polypropylene polymer reinforcement)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more durable repair for large hiatal hernias, lowering the chance of hernia recurrence.
What could go wrong
This is a single-arm, non-randomized study with no control group, so results may be less conclusive. There is also a risk of mesh erosion or other complications.
