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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 develops a machine learning model to predict the risk of acute exacerbation within one year in patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a lung condition caused by allergic reactions to Aspergillus fungus. Researchers will analyze data from 200 stable-phase ABPA patients, using various clinical and lab features to build and validate 12 different models. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors identify high-risk patients and make better treatment decisions.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this model could help doctors identify ABPA patients at high risk of flare-ups, enabling earlier and more personalized treatment.
What could go wrong
The model is based on data from 200 patients and may not generalize to all populations. Machine learning predictions are not always accurate in real-world settings.

Who is studied

This study enrolled adult patients aged ≥ 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) who met the 2024 ISHAM diagnostic criteria. Study subjects consisted of retrospectively identified cases extracted from the electronic medical records of participating hospitals, as well as prospectively recruited patients enrolled during the research period. Eligible patients were required to achieve disease stability following initial treatment and possess complete datasets covering clinical manifestations, chest imaging findings, laboratory test results, treatment regimens, and records of ABPA exacerbation events. All participants were stratified into an ABPA exacerbation group and a non-exacerbation group. Patients who failed to attain stable disease after initial treatment, lacked core clinical data, or were lost to follow-up were excluded from the analysis.

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. Aged between 18 and 80 years old. 2. Consistent with the diagnostic consensus criteria for ABPA proposed by the ISHAM-ABPA Working Group. 3. Patients in stable phase of ABPA: newly diagnosed treatment-naive patients or those with prior ABPA exacerbation who achieved at least 50% improvement in symptoms assessed by Likert scale or visual analogue scale (VAS) following initial therapy, accompanied by marked radiological improvement (≥50% reduction in pulmonary opacities) or a minimum 20% decline in serum total IgE level. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Concurrent malignant tumors or severe organ dysfunction involving the heart, brain, kidney and other vital organs. 2. Complicated with severe underlying diseases, including active pulmonary tuberculosis, lung cancer, chronic heart failure (NYHA class Ⅳ), chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD 5), decompensated liver cirrhosis, etc. 3. Immunocompromised status, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, long-term oral administration of glucocorticoids or immunosuppressive agents. 4. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 5. Patients with missing core clinical data or incomplete medical records.
