Trial summary

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is the most common cause of severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in the pediatric population worldwide. Age at the time of infection, prematurity, multiparity, exposure to smoke and the level of passive immunity transmitted at birth are the main risk factors for… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phenotype Severity of RSV-infections in Twins During the First Year of Life

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is the most common cause of severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in the pediatric population worldwide. Age at the time of infection, prematurity, multiparity, exposure to smoke and the level of passive immunity transmitted at birth are the main risk factors for lower respiratory infection associated with RSV. Other factors, including the innate immune response, respiratory microbiota, and intra-host viral heterogeneity, may also affect outcomes but are not fully considered in RSV infection. Exploring the impact of these factors is difficult due to the heterogeneity of the population which makes statistical adjustment difficult. Thus, twin models are useful in understanding the impact of the host on the environment, as twins often share similar exposure to infection and many risk factors, but not all are ie different prenatal and postnatal conditions, differential transfer of maternal antibodies and the genetic makeup of heterozygotes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of discordant twin pairs in severity of Respiratory Syncytial Virus infections.

    The primary outcome measure is the percentage of discordant twin pairs of at least one severity level on the WHO (World Health Organization) scale.

    The discrepancy in the level of severity is obtained by retrospective analysis of the data from the medical file.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of RSV Infection and Bronchiolitis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site 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 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 6 Jul 2022. 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 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?

Percentage of discordant twin pairs in severity of Respiratory Syncytial Virus infections. (time frame: 1 day). 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 6 Jul 2022.
