Big data study aims to sharpen chlamydia tracking for future vaccine
NCT ID NCT07094373
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at over 500,000 patient records to see if diagnostic codes in electronic health records accurately identify chlamydia infections. Researchers will compare these codes with lab test results. The goal is to improve how real-world data is used for chlamydia research, which could help in developing a vaccine.
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 could improve how researchers use health records to study chlamydia, supporting the development of a vaccine.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using existing data, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all populations or healthcare systems.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
For the primary objectives, the study population will include patients aged 14 to 44 years old identified between 1 January 2016 and 31 October 2024 in TriNetX USA Network. Patients are eligible if they have at least one ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for chlamydia or a known Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) result. For the secondary objectives, the study population includes 1.) patients aged 14 to 44 years with at least one ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for chlamydia between 1 February 2016 and 30 November 2023 in the MarketScan CCAE database and 2.) patients aged 14 to 44 years with an ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for chlamydia or a positive NAAT result for chlamydia between 1 January 2016 and 31 October 2024 in TriNetX Dataworks USA.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria for Primary Objectives: * Patients with an ICD-10-CM diagnosis of chlamydia documented in their EHR OR patients with a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) result for chlamydia (either positive or negative) during the study period. The index date is the date of the first-recorded diagnosis code, or the date of the first-recorded NAAT result when no diagnosis code for chlamydia exists. * Patients with at least one visit within 30 days both before and after their index date. Exclusion Criteria for Primary Objectives: * Patients with no documented ICD-10-CM diagnosis for chlamydia who possessed unknown laboratory test results for chlamydia during the study period (removed from ICD validation assessment in primary analysis). * Patients with an ICD-10-CM diagnosis without a corresponding laboratory test (removed from ICD validation assessment in primary analysis).
