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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study compares two methods for teaching cataract surgery to ophthalmology residents. One group learns steps in the usual order, while the other learns easier steps first. Researchers will measure how well residents perform surgery and how often complications occur. The goal is to find the best way to train new surgeons.

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 this trial succeeds, it could point toward better training methods for eye surgeons, potentially improving patient outcomes in cataract surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an educational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all training programs or surgical settings.

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

Study facts

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jan 2023

Expected to finish

Jun 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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