Trial summary

Context: Seasonal influenza affects 2.5 to 3 million people each year in France, resulting in 1500 to 2000 severe cases seen in intensive care units. The severity of influenza is related to, among other things, its respiratory or neurological complications, observed especially in children. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Multicentre Study to Determine Respiratory Microbiome Biomarkers for the Prognostic of Clinical Course of Influenza in Children

Context: Seasonal influenza affects 2.5 to 3 million people each year in France, resulting in 1500 to 2000 severe cases seen in intensive care units. The severity of influenza is related to, among other things, its respiratory or neurological complications, observed especially in children. Early determination of the severity of influenza is a critical step to avoid in appropriate treatment and care for patients and to improve their survival. Viral, human but also environmental factors have been described as having an important role in determining this severity. Several studies suggest that the nasopharyngeal microbiome may be involved in the incidence and severity of respiratory viral infections. During influenza infection, the respiratory microbiota is significantly altered. In animal models, particularly murine models, the microbiota regulates the immune response to influenza virus infection. In a retrospective preliminary study, the investigators showed that the composition of the nasopharyngeal bacterial microbiota is different between children who develop a severe or moderate influenza. This difference was observed on respiratory specimens at admission to pediatric emergencies within two days of onset of symptoms.

Hypotheses :

  • The respiratory microbiome is a determining factor in the clinical course of influenza infection (benign vs. severe with respiratory or neurological complication)
  • The respiratory microbiome can be used as a prognostic biomarker of the clinical course of influenza Originality: There are currently no clinical and / or virological markers to predict the clinical course of influenza infection. This study will define biomarkers of the respiratory microbiome to discriminate patients who will develop a severe influenza from those who will develop a moderate influenza. These prognostic biomarkers could be used to rapidly refer patients at risk to intensive care units, thus improving patient management and care. Moreover, at the fundamental level, this study will specify the role of the microbiome in the severity of influenza infection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Definition and evaluation of a microbial signature discriminating patients developing severe influenza from those developing moderate influenza

    On nasopharyngeal specimen collected at inclusion, a microbial signature will be defined as a limited number of bacterial genomic groups (OTU Operational Taxonomic Unit), that will help discriminate the 2 groups of patients (evolution toward a severe or a moderate influenza, evaluated at hospital discharge).

    Measured: Day 30

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. sequencing the hypervariable regions of the 16S RNA on the longitudinal respiratory specimens

    We will analyze the different dynamics of the composition of the microbiome associated with different influenza evolutions. The qualitative and quantitative evolution of the microbial species present in the respiratory specimens will be evaluated by sequencing the hypervariable regions of the 16S RNA on the longitudinal respiratory specimens performed on Day 1.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. sequencing the hypervariable regions of the 16S RNA on the longitudinal respiratory specimens

    We will analyze the different dynamics of the composition of the microbiome associated with different influenza evolutions. The qualitative and quantitative evolution of the microbial species present in the respiratory specimens will be evaluated by sequencing the hypervariable regions of the 16S RNA on the longitudinal respiratory specimens performed on day 2

    Measured: Day 2

  3. sequencing the hypervariable regions of the 16S RNA on the longitudinal respiratory specimens

    We will analyze the different dynamics of the composition of the microbiome associated with different influenza evolutions. The qualitative and quantitative evolution of the microbial species present in the respiratory specimens will be evaluated by sequencing the hypervariable regions of the 16S RNA on the longitudinal respiratory specimens performed on day 5

    Measured: Day 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Collection of nasopharyngeal specimen collected at D0, D1, D2 and D5. in people with Influenza, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 2 sites in France.

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 4 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 8 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

Definition and evaluation of a microbial signature discriminating patients developing severe influenza from those developing moderate influenza (time frame: Day 30). 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 8 Jun 2022.
