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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study aims to better understand asthma and COPD by comparing immune markers in blood and airways of patients versus healthy volunteers. Researchers will analyze samples from 230 adults to identify distinct immune patterns linked to disease severity. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment of these common 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 reveal distinct immune patterns that help doctors better diagnose and treat asthma and COPD in the future.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It aims to gather knowledge, not test a new therapy, so there is no direct benefit to participants.

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

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study * Aged 18 years or above * Patient: known or suspected airway disease * Healthy volunteer: considered to be in good health with no significant comorbidity (immune disorder, cancer etc.) Exclusion Criteria: * Known or suspected current pulmonary tuberculosis, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C Virus. * Surgery within the preceding 6 weeks * Participants who are pregnant * History of psychiatric, medical, or surgical disorders that in the opinion of the chief investigator may interfere with sample collection, undergo a bronchoscopy, or may compromise study completion or data collection * Alcohol or recreational drug abuse * Diagnosis of immunodeficiency requiring treatment * Unable to provide written informed consent * Unable to read or write English * Be considered, in the opinion of the investigator, to be an unsuitable candidate for the study
