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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 followed 600 lung transplant recipients at the University of Pittsburgh to see how common viral and bacterial infections are and how they affect long-term health. Researchers focused on whether a specific infection (C. pneumoniae) is linked to a condition called bronchiolitis obliterans, which can damage the lungs. The goal is to better understand infections after transplant to improve 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 successful, this research could help doctors better predict and manage infections after lung transplants, potentially improving long-term survival.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove that controlling infections will improve outcomes, and results may not apply to all transplant centers.
