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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested a new surgical clip called VasoClip, designed to hold blood vessels closed more securely during robotic surgery for prostate, kidney, or bladder cancer. Forty patients were randomly assigned to receive either the new clip or a standard clip. The goal was to see if the new clip prevents slipping and works as well or better than the current option.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
VasoClip implantable vascular clip (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this clip could reduce surgical complications like bleeding or clip slippage during robotic prostate or kidney cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 patients. The clip may not perform better than existing clips, and device-related risks like tissue damage or clip failure remain possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 20 years or older. * Scheduled for robotic or laparoscopic urologic surgery where the use of polymer ligating clips is anticipated. * Voluntary informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinically significant coagulation disorders (PT-INR \> 1.2). * Severe vascular diseases (e.g., peripheral arterial occlusion, microvascular heart disease). * Comorbidities inducing excessive bleeding (e.g., active urinary tract infection, liver cirrhosis). * Conditions affecting blood cell or platelet production (e.g., leukemia). * Known coagulation factor deficiencies (e.g., hemophilia)
