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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 structured simulation training program helps surgical residents improve their laparoscopic and thoracoscopic skills. Nineteen residents will practice on box trainers and animal tissues in a lab, with their skills measured before and after training. No patients are involved, and the goal is to see if this approach can better prepare trainees for real surgeries.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Structured simulation-based surgical training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that structured simulation training effectively improves surgical skills, potentially leading to safer operating room experiences.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage educational study with only 19 participants and no patient outcomes. Results may not apply to all training programs or directly translate to real surgeries.

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 19 people

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

Started

Jan 2026

Expected to finish

May 2027

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

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
