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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers compare two robotic surgery approaches for removing lung tumors in adults with non-small cell lung cancer. Participants are assigned at random to either biportal surgery, which uses two incisions, or multiportal surgery, which uses several small ports. The study tracks complications, blood loss, pain, hospital stay, and quality of life over 12 months to see which approach works better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, using either two incisions (biportal) or multiple ports (multiportal)
What this could lead to
If one approach proves safer or easier to recover from, it could shape how surgeons plan robotic lung tumor removal and help patients get back on their feet sooner.
What could go wrong
Both techniques are already used in practice, so the trial may find little difference between them. Surgery always carries risks such as bleeding, infection, and prolonged air leaks, and results from 80 people may not apply to 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 80 people

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

Started

Jan 2026

Expected to finish

Feb 2028

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.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

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: * Adults aged 18 years or older, of any sex. * Non-small cell lung cancer considered clinically resectable, confirmed preoperatively or during surgery. * Candidate for pulmonary resection by robotic thoracic surgery. * Written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Declines participation or cannot provide written informed consent. * Thoracic anatomical abnormalities that preclude or materially affect robotic surgery. * Active thoracic infection. * Surgery not performed by a participating surgeon with comparable experience in biRATS and multiRATS.
