About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Outpatient, Surveillance Study of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection and Respiratory Syncytial Virus-related Hospitalizations Among Subjects < 24 Months of Age With a Medically Attended Respiratory Tract Infection

The purpose of this study is to collect clinical outcome and nasal viral load information.

Read the detailed description

There is no vaccine available to prevent Respiratory Syncytial Virus disease; however, a humanized monoclonal antibody is approved for the prevention of Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection in pediatric patients at high risk of disease (eg, pre-term infants, congenital heart disease, and chronic lung disease). Beyond this high-risk group, infection is common in otherwise healthy infants and can be severe, leading to hospitalization and while uncommon, death. Each year in the United States, approximately 100,000 Respiratory Syncytial Virus-related hospitalizations occur in low risk infants. Currently, treatment of infants suffering from Respiratory Syncytial Virus disease is limited to supportive care with the goal of maintaining adequate oxygenation and nutrition.

The availability of a novel anti-Respiratory Syncytial Virus therapeutic that reduces the number of hospitalizations related to Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection would fulfill an unmet medical need in the pediatric population. For maximum effect, such a treatment should be administered as early as possible in the course of infection. Accordingly, the opportunities for early intervention with an anti-Respiratory Syncytial Virus therapeutic are in the outpatient setting, prior to hospitalization. However, the incidence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus-related hospitalization, as well as the natural history and viral dynamics of Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection, remain undefined in the outpatient setting. A better understanding of the prevalence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection and subsequent hospitalization rates among symptomatic infants as well as the early disease course of Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection will help in the design of clinical trials needed to assess the efficacy of an anti-Respiratory Syncytial Virus therapeutic developed by Gilead Sciences.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections, run by Gilead Sciences at 15 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 20 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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?

Determine the percentage of medically attended Respiratory Syncytial Virus- positive subjects hospitalized for Respiratory Syncytial Virus related symptoms (time frame: Up to seven months). 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 20 Aug 2013.
