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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study will use a procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to collect fluid from the lungs of 66 adults with suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD). The fluid will be analyzed to identify specific inflammatory cells, which may help doctors distinguish between different ILD types. The goal is to improve diagnosis and understanding of these lung conditions.

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 study could improve how doctors diagnose and manage interstitial lung diseases by using BAL fluid analysis.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct patient benefits, and results may not apply to all ILD patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
