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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a mixed reality system called VascuLens 2.0 that projects 3D images of a patient's blood vessels onto their body during DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery. The goal is to help surgeons make more accurate incisions, potentially reducing surgery time and complications. Sixty women undergoing this surgery after mastectomy will be randomly assigned to either standard planning or the VascuLens-guided approach.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
VascuLens 2.0 mixed reality system
What this could lead to
If successful, this system could make DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgeries faster and safer by helping surgeons see blood vessels more clearly.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technology may not improve accuracy or outcomes as hoped.

Phase

Phase 1

The first testing in people. Mainly checks safety and dose, usually in a small group.

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 must be ≥ 19 years old * Patients must be undergoing a DIEP flap surgery after mastectomy for breast cancer or risk reduction * Patient is already scheduled for a pre-operative CTA as part of routine standard of care. Note: Non-English speaking participants will be given the option to have a translator. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have had a prior DIEP flap, as they may not have standard vascular anatomy and the previous surgery may have resulted in scarring and fibrosis that would potentially interfere with the accuracy of the projected anatomical information. * Patients who have not had a pre-operative CTA because no imaging-based surgical guidance can be provided * Patients who are pregnant at the time of surgery * Patients who had a pre-operative CTA done before they were considered for this trial
