About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Non-Interventional Study to Evaluate the Incidence of Hospitalizations and Medically-Attended Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (MALRI) in Premature Infants 32 to 35 Weeks Gestational Age Who Are Not Recommended to Receive Prophylaxis for RSV

The purpose of this study is to describe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) hospitalization rates and to begin to address the utilization of outpatient resources for RSV medically-attended lower respiratory tract infections (MALRI) in 32-35 week gestational age (GA) premature infants who are less than 6 months of age and do not receive treatment.

Read the detailed description

The goals of this study are:

  • To estimate the incidence of hospitalization attributable to RSV within 150 days from enrollment in premature infants who are:
  • 32-35 weeks GA
  • less than 6 months of age at the start of the RSV season
  • not receiving palivizumab prophylaxis and not recommended to receive palivizumab according to the AAP guidelines
  • To estimate the incidence rate of hospitalization attributable to RSV in the other relevant study populations and time periods (e.g., Cohort 2, Cohorts 1 and 2 combined, and subgroups based on chronological age at the start of the RSV season, GA, etc. within 150 days from enrollment and other time periods based on RSV activity, etc.)
  • To estimate the incidence of RSV-associated MALRI in the study populations
  • To characterize the incidence and type of clinical interventions for MALRI in the study populations

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1Premature Infants (32-35 wks. GA) who are less than six months of age at start of RSV season and followed until May of the following year.
2Premature newborns (32-35 wks. GA) who are born during the current RSV season and discharged from the hospital after 01 Dec and followed until May of the next year.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Estimate the incidence of hospitalization attributable to RSV within 150 days from enrollment in premature infants

    Measured: 150 days from enrollment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Estimate the incidence rate of hospitalization attributable to RSV in the other relevant study populations

    Measured: 150 days after enrollment

  2. Estimate the incidence rate of MALRI attributable to RSV in the study populations;

    Measured: during follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections, run by MedImmune LLC at 59 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 59 sites 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Estimate the incidence of hospitalization attributable to RSV within 150 days from enrollment in premature infants (time frame: 150 days from enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Feb 2009.
