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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
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

Summary

This early study tested an optical 3D scanner designed to help surgeons align spine anatomy during operations. The goal was to see if the scanner could accurately match a patient's spine to pre-surgery MRI or CT scans. Only 2 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated, so the findings are very limited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Optical 3D scanner
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve the accuracy of surgical navigation for spine procedures.
What could go wrong
This was a very early pre-pilot study with only 2 participants and was terminated, so results are extremely limited and may not apply to broader practice.

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

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

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: 1. Patients that require exposure of bony posterior spine anatomy for localization as standard of care. 2. Clinically planned for spine surgery. 3. Able to provide written informed consent from subject or subject's legal representative, using IRB approved consent form, and ability for subject to comply with the protocol requirements of the study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Language problems that would prevent from properly understanding instructions. 2. Requirement of an interpreter. 3. Patients who are excluded from consideration for the surgical procedure are therefore excluded from the research study. 4. Special populations: pregnant women, prisoners. 5. Minimally invasive spine surgery that does not expose the necessary bone/s. 6. Spine surgery without posterior exposure.
