Filter by:The objective of this study is to demonstrate the clinical performance of the Sofia RSV FIA with specimens from symptomatic pediatric subjects who are less than nineteen (19) years of age.
This is a Phase 1, double-blind, placebo controlled study enrolling 42 healthy adult subjects (18-45yrs) from 1 site. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:3:2 ratio to receive MEDI-557 or placebo. Subjects will receive 1 intravenous dose on Study Day 1. Subjects will be followed for safety from the time of Informed Consent through 360 days post dose.
Assess the burden of disease associated with RSV infection with premature children in an outpatient setting.
Collection of nasal secretions from infants and toddlers for viral testing is usually done using the nasal washing technique described by Hall in 1975. This is cumbersome. Previous attempts to use swabs have been unsuccessful because the swabs didn't work well. A newly designed swab may work better and in this study we compare the new swab with the old style nasal washing.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes sickness and deaths in older people every winter. This study will investigate how aging affects the body's immune response (body's response to disease) to RSV. About 2000 people, age 21 and older, who reside in the upstate NY area, will be recruited. Two groups of subjects will be studied. The 1st group of volunteers will be recruited prior to the start of RSV season in year 1 of the study. These volunteers will include healthy people and people with various medical conditions. The 2nd group of volunteers will be patients admitted to Rochester General Hospital for acute respiratory illness. Procedures will include drawing blood from a vein in the arm (2 tablespoons), collecting nasal swabs, and collecting sputum. Volunteers may participate in study related procedures for up to 3 years.
The purpose of this study is to measure the immune response (how the body fights infection) to an experimental preparation of live Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). A better understanding of this virus may be useful in development of vaccines and treatments. Participants will include 20 healthy adults age 21-40. Study procedures will include drawing blood, urine samples, respiratory exams, vital signs and temperature, diary cards, nasal mucus weight and nasal washes and swabs. All participants will receive vaccine via nose drops. Patients will participate in the study for about 2 months.
