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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a home-based program of exercise, weight loss, and health optimization before ventral hernia surgery can lower the chance of complications. 130 adults with hernias 4-8 cm wide will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation program or standard care. Researchers will track complications at 3 and 12 months after surgery, and also study tissue samples to understand how the program affects healing.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
prehabilitation programme (home-based exercise, weight loss, and comorbidity management)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could reduce complications after ventral hernia surgery, leading to faster recovery and fewer post-surgical problems.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (130 participants) testing a behavioural program, so results may not apply to all patients. The program requires significant patient commitment and may not be feasible for everyone.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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.

Participants

About 130 people

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

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.

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with a ventral hernia with a defect width of at least 4 cm. * Symptom burden related to the hernia sufficient to justify surgical intervention. * Age ≥ 18 years. Exclusion Criteria: * Expected survival of less than three years. * Inability to comprehend oral and written information or to provide informed consent. * Acute complication of the hernia requiring emergency surgical intervention. * General condition characterised by severe limitations in physical functional capacity.
