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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

This study will check how common parasitic infections are in 285 people with blood disorders, like anemia or blood cancers, at Assiut University hospitals in Egypt. Researchers will test for Toxoplasma and other parasites. The goal is to understand if routine screening could help these patients, who are often more vulnerable to infections.

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 highlight the need for routine parasite screening in patients with blood disorders, potentially leading to better infection management.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new therapy, and results may not apply to other regions or populations.
