Respiratory Syncytial Virus InfectionPhase 4NCT00001903
Prevention of RSV Infections in Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients
A Phase 4 study testing RSV Polyclonal Immunoglobulin in people with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections are very common and widespread. By age 5, virtually everyone has been infected and developed antibodies against some strain of the virus. RSV infections happen during adulthood, leading to common cold syndromes. Read more about this study

- Ages Any age
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Child, Adult, Older adult
Male or female patients who are between the ages of 2 and 80 years.
Must be admitted to the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit for a bone marrow transplantation (BMT), peripheral stem cell transplantation (PSCT) or mini-transplantation (MT).
Must be in the early phase of BMT, PSCT or MT, i.e., receiving conditioning therapy for the transplant or within the first 30 days of receiving a bone marrow graft or;
Must be greater than 30 days post-engraftment but being treated for Graft vs. Host disease (GVHD) with a total dose of equal to or greater than 1.5 grams/m(2) of methylprednisolone (or equivalent dose of steroids) over the first 3 days.
Must have a negative result (at 48 hours) for RSV in the screening respiratory viral culture.
Less than 8 days have elapsed between meeting eligibility criteria, being contacted by one of the investigators, and making a decision to join the study.
Patients with signs or symptoms of Upper Respiratory Tract infection or pneumonia will be excluded until the etiology is established or RSV is ruled-out by the screening culture.
Patients will be excluded if they have any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could affect their safety, preclude evaluation of response, or render unlikely that the contemplated course of therapy can be completed.

About this study
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections are very common and widespread. By age 5, virtually everyone has been infected and developed antibodies against some strain of the virus. RSV infections happen during adulthood, leading to common cold syndromes. In Bone Marrow Transplant recipients the disease is much more severe, usually progressing to pneumonia. This phenomenon is associated with mortality rates around 60-80%.
RSV Polyclonal Immunoglobulin (Respigam® (Registered Trademark)) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for prophylaxis of RSV disease in premature babies and children born with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Furthermore, it has been used to treat RSV pneumonia in children and Bone Marrow Transplant recipients with encouraging results and no complications.

Currently, no preventive strategies are available when approaching this infection among bone marrow transplant patients. We intend to prevent our bone marrow transplant patients from developing RSV pneumonia by employing the strategy already used in premature babies, i.e., by passive immunization with Respigam® (Registered Trademark). Our goal to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this strategy in such immunocompromised population.
We believe that this will be a more reasonable approach than waiting for the infection to settle in and only then treating it, because optimal therapy is not currently available.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing RSV Polyclonal Immunoglobulin in people with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00001903, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2008.
