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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compares two types of robotic surgery for rectal cancer: single-port (one small incision) and multi-port (several incisions). Researchers want to see which approach is safer and leads to fewer complications. Forty adults with rectal cancer will take part, and the study will track pain, recovery, and surgical quality.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Robotic surgery (single-port or multi-port)
What this could lead to
If successful, single-port robotic surgery could offer a less invasive option for rectal cancer removal, potentially reducing pain and speeding recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (40 participants) and not randomized, so results may not apply broadly. Both procedures carry standard surgical risks like infection or complications.

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 40 people

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

Started

Apr 2025

Expected to finish

Dec 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

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 comprised: (1) MRI-confirmed distal tumor margin \<15 cm from the anal verge, (2) biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma, (3) clinical stage I-III (AJCC 8th edition) with potential downstaging post-neoadjuvant therapy, (4) intent-to-treat with sphincter preservation and primary anastomosis, (5) documented informed consent, and (6) adult patients (≥18 years).
