About this study

Official title: Registry Endovascular Training Curriculum PROSPECT for Surgical Trainees (PROficiency-based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training Program)

The goal of this multicentric registry is to gather data from trainees completing PROSPECT: a PROficiency Based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training to obtain basic cognitive and technical skills. The main goals are to identify if:

  • Results from a previous randomised controlled trail can be reproduced in real life.
  • Evaluate skills retention after program completion.
  • Assess real life implementation of the training program.
Read the detailed description

A validated PROSPECT (PROficiency-based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training) training has been integrated into the training of surgical residents to teach basic cognitive, technical and non-technical endovascular skills. The program uses virtual reality simulation and E-learning. During the four modules of the program, formative feedback is given after each training session. Only after achieving a predetermined benchmark score, trainees can progress to the next module.

Surgical trainees completing PROSPECT showed superior real live endovascular performance compared to the traditionally trained in a single centre randomised controlled trial (RCT). The curriculum was integrated locally, but also introduced in other centers: national and international. Local tutors teach the curriculum to trainees after standardized training on the modalities of PROSPECT by the researchers of the Ghent.

A registry is maintained and coordinated by the Ghent research group in which all educational data regarding this training is collected and processed anonymously.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cognitive skills

    Multiple Choice Question test (min: 0, max: 20, the higher the score, the better)

    Measured: comparison before program start and after completion. This means through study completion.

  2. Technical skills

    Rating scale assessment and simulator metrics

    Measured: comparison before program start and after completion. This means through study completion.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cognitive skills retention

    Multiple Choice Question test (min: 0, max: 20, the higher the score, the better)

    Measured: 3, 6 and 12 months after program completion

  2. Technical skills retention

    Rating scale assessment and simulator metrics

    Measured: 3, 6 and 12 months after program completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PROSPECT in people with Vascular Diseases, run by University Hospital, Ghent at 3 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Belgium, Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Isabelle Van Herzeele, MD, PhD (09 332 51 08 ext. +32, isabelle.vanherzeele@ugent.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cognitive skills (time frame: comparison before program start and after completion. This means through study completion.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Dec 2024.
