  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Infant of less than 18 months old
  • infant hospitalized for a 1st episode of bronchiolitis defined as a 1st episode of respiratory difficulty with sibilant and\or crépitants in a viral context (head cold and\or cough and\or fever and\or notion of contage)
  • Necessity of an clinical score upper to 4. This clinical score, described by Wang in 1992, is the clinical score classically used in the studies concerning the acute(sharp) bronchiolitis of the infant ( 8,9,12 ). He(it) is at most on 12 points.

  • Refusal of the parents to participate in the study
  • 18-month-old infant hospitalized for acute(sharp) bronchiolitis with a clinical score lower than 4.
  • signs of respiratory décompensation requiring a transfer in resuscitation, signs of hypercapnie or episodes of apneas
  • histories of bronchiolitis or asthma of the infant
  • cardiac underlying pathology, respiratory, neuromuscular, immunodeficient or former premature of less of 34 weeks of amenorrhoea and less than 3 months of corrected age.
  • child having set within 6 hours preceding the inclusion a treatment by bronchodilatateurs or corticoids by systematic or inhaled way.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nebulisations in people with Acute Viral Bronchiolitis, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille 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 6 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

the improvement of the clinical score of severity at the 48th hour between the 3 groups of children (time frame: 12 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 29 Aug 2014.
