Study summary

This registry prospectively collects anonymized free-text symptom descriptions submitted voluntarily by adults through the OpenGenome platform at opengenome.bio. For each submission, the system retrieves real biomedical literature from PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov in parallel, applies a constrained reasoning model operating under a strict output schema, and returns a structured biological signal report. The study evaluates the internal consistency of extracted signals, the calibration of confidence scores relative to dataset size and symptom specificity, and the distribution of biological signal categories across a large anonymous population. No intervention is assigned. No participant contact occurs. All data is anonymized at the point of collection.

Read the detailed description

OpenGenome is a publicly accessible, anonymous research instrument that maps free-text symptom descriptions to structured biological signals grounded in primary biomedical literature. Upon submission, the platform dispatches parallel queries to PubMed via NCBI E-utilities and ClinicalTrials.gov v2 API, retrieving up to 16 real sources per submission. A reasoning model constrained by a strict schema extracts a primary biological signal, up to five secondary signals, a plain-language correlation explanation, a confidence score, and a signal strength score. All scores are integers on a 0 to 100 scale. Sources are included by PMID or NCT identifier and are directly linkable for independent verification. This registry will analyze aggregate anonymized outputs to characterize signal consistency, score calibration, and population-level signal distributions.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started May 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2028, 24 months after the start.

Of 20 observational studies under Signs and Symptoms, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 20. This study's planned 24 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 19, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
