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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at 200 people with pneumonia to find out how many actually have an infection caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae, a type of bacteria. Researchers will use PCR tests to check for the germ and compare results with standard care. The goal is to see if this infection is overdiagnosed and to better understand its true impact on patient outcomes.

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 the study shows that Chlamydia pneumoniae is less common than thought, it could help doctors avoid unnecessary antibiotics and focus on the real cause of pneumonia.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that only looks back at existing data, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may vary by region or lab methods.

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

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of pediatric and adult patients from participating French and Swiss centers who had a positive simplex or multiplex PCR result for Chlamydia pneumoniae on an upper or lower respiratory tract specimen between January 2015 and December 2025. Eligible patients must have a documented diagnosis of pneumonia and available clinical data allowing characterization of disease presentation, management, radiological findings, co-infections, and outcomes. Patients who objected to the use of their medical data for research purposes or who did not have pneumonia are excluded.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: * Positive simplex or multiplex PCR for Chlamydia pneumoniae on an upper or lower respiratory tract specimen between January 2015 and December 2025. * Availability of clinical data allowing confirmation of pneumonia diagnosis. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient opposition to the use of medical data for research purposes. * Absence of pneumonia diagnosis. * Insufficient clinical data for analysis.
