Disease

Names and IDs as Open Targets gives them. Its IDs in MeSH, Orphanet, the Disease Ontology and the NCI Thesaurus are those Open Targets states for it.

Name: croup; Open Targets
Open Targets ID: MONDO_0005722; Open Targets
Other names: Croup (disorder), Croup syndrome, Laryngotracheobronchitis, acute laryngotracheobronchitis, acute obstructive laryngitis; Open Targets
Disease Ontology: DOID:9395; Disease Ontology
MeSH: D003440; MeSH
NCI Thesaurus: C26735; NCI Thesaurus
Highest stage of its drugs: Phase 3, for 2 of its 2 drugs, from ClinicalTrials.gov; Open Targets

Drugs2

The drugs Open Targets' clinical reports study for the disease, the highest stage first, then the most trial reports. The stage is Open Targets', the highest any of its sources reports for the pair, and each row names the sources that report it.

Drug	ChEMBL ID	Type	Open Targets' stage	Stage reported by	Reports	Of them trials	Trials shown here	Source
DEXAMETHASONE	CHEMBL384467	Small molecule	Phase 3	ClinicalTrials.gov	2	2	2	Drugs and targets
BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE	CHEMBL1200500	Small molecule	Phase 3	ClinicalTrials.gov	1	1	1	Drugs and targets

Targets1

The targets ChEMBL's mechanism records give for the disease's drugs, through Open Targets, the most drugs first. A mechanism record says what a drug acts on, not that the target causes the disease.

Target	Protein	Its drugs that act on it	Mechanisms	Highest stage of those drugs	Gene in Genes
NR3C1	Glucocorticoid receptor	2	Glucocorticoid receptor agonist	Phase 3	https://conductscience.org/library/genes/2908

Trials3

Trials an Open Targets clinical report links to the disease, posted results first, then the largest. A trial is shown when the release's checks confirm its link to the disease and Drugs and targets shows its link to one of the disease's drugs.

Comparisons in its trials4

Comparisons Trial comparisons calculated in the trials shown here, most participants first. A comparison in one of these trials does not always compare a treatment for the disease, so read the two groups.
