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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

Researchers are studying how well benralizumab works in adults with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), a rare disease that inflames blood vessels and can affect the lungs, nerves, and sinuses. The study follows about 100 patients at European referral centers who receive benralizumab every 4 weeks, either as their first biologic or after another drug. Over up to 24 months, researchers will track disease activity, lung function, steroid doses, relapses, and side effects from medical records. The goal is to understand whether benralizumab helps patients control EGPA and reduce their need for oral steroids in everyday practice.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
benralizumab, a biologic drug given every 4 weeks
What this could lead to
If benralizumab helps, it could offer people with EGPA a way to control symptoms and lower their daily steroid dose over the long term.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study of about 100 people, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to everyone with EGPA, and benralizumab carries known risks such as allergic reactions and infections.
