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 Results may not be published yet.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

This study follows 1,000 people with chronic inflammatory skin diseases, such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea, over time. Researchers will collect detailed clinical data and biological samples to see which factors correlate with disease activity and progression. The goal is to identify markers that could help predict patient subgroups and guide treatment decisions in the future.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
No specific drug or intervention is being tested. This is an observational study that follows patients receiving routine care.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify biological and clinical markers that help doctors predict how a patient's skin disease will progress and choose the most effective treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not lead to immediate clinical changes, and the long follow-up may face participant dropout.
