About this study

This study aims to prospectively estimate the incidence of Respiratory virus (RV) infections in children with symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) or lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) using the FilmArrayTM System, a novel highly sensitive and rapid assay for RV detection. An aliquot from the leftover sample remaining after clinical diagnostic testing will be used for FilmArrayTM analysis. Patients will be accrued on the study over a one year period.

Read the detailed description

The Primary Objective of the study is:

  • Prospectively estimate the incidence of Respiratory virus (RV) infections in children with symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) or lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital(SJCRH).

The Secondary Objectives of the study are:

  • Study the association between RV infections and clinical variables.
  • Prospectively estimate the duration of RV infections in symptomatic children at SJCRH.
  • Compare the sensitivity and specificity of the current molecular method of analysis of respiratory viruses with the FilmArrayTM method.

Study groups in NCT01167361
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Children with upper or lower respiratory infectionsRespiratory Virus infections in children who are symptomatic with either an Upper Respiratory Tract Infections and/or Lower Respiratory Tract Infections is determined by using a novel highly sensitive and rapid assay for RV detection. An aliquot from the leftover sample remaining after clinical diagnostic testing will be used for FilmArrayTM analysis. Specimens collected will include nasopharyngeal washes, nasopharyngeal swabs, tracheal aspirates and bronchoalveolar lavage as ordered by the treating physician. Diagnostic studies on this specimen will be performed as ordered and the results will be available to the treating physicians after reporting.

What is being measured

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

  1. This study measures the incidence of Respiratory virus (RV) infections in children with symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) or lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) using the FilmArray System

    This study uses FilmArrayTM System, a novel highly sensitive and rapid assay for respiratory virus infection. An aliquot from the leftover sample remaining after clinical diagnostic testing will be used for FilmArrayTM analysis

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time of first detection of the virus as related to day of transplant, Time of first detection of the virus as related to day of chemotherapy and duration of viral shedding from the time of first detection will all be measured.

    Different variables will be collected to find the association between Respiratory virus and clinical variables

    Measured: 1 year

  2. This study prospectively estimates and measures the duration of Respiratory Virus infections in symptomatic children by studying the epidemiology and natural history of infections with these viruses .

    These viruses have been known to cause interstitial lung disease, will help clarify the etiology of "idiopathic pneumonia" post chemotherapy .

    Measured: 1 year

  3. This study analyses respiratory viruses using Filmarray TM method

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Virus Infection, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 0 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 31 Oct 2012. 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.

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?

This study measures the incidence of Respiratory virus (RV) infections in children with symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) or lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) using the FilmArray System (time frame: 1 year). 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 31 Oct 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
