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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study aims to understand how and why eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) become active in conditions like allergies, asthma, and parasitic infections. Researchers will observe up to 800 people aged 1 to 100 with high eosinophil levels. No experimental treatments are given; participants receive standard care and may provide extra blood or tissue samples for research.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

Participants with marked eosinophilia, eosinophilia in tissues or suspected eosinophilic end organ involvement will be seen on this protocol. Evaluation of family members may be of interest when a genetic cause of eosinophilia in suspected in a study participant.
