I was screened and turned down. What happened?

Something in the tests did not match the trial's rules. It is not a judgment about you, and it does not mean you are too sick or not sick enough for treatment.

This is common and it is genuinely disappointing. Ask your team two things: what exactly ruled you out, and whether another trial or another center might still fit.
