About this study

Official title: Cohort Study to Evaluate Effects of Prophylactic Treatment for Respiratory Syncytial (RS) Virus Infection in Respiratory Tract During Infancy on Subsequent Atopic Asthma in Preterm Infants

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether the incidence of atopic asthma after three years old may be suppressed in the children who were born as preterm infants and prophylactically treated with palivizumab for respiratory syncytial (RS) virus infections during the infancy.

The secondary objective is to determine whether the incidence of recurrent wheezing after three years old may be suppressed in the children who were born as preterm infants and prophylactically treated with palivizumab for RS virus infections during the infancy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atopic Asthma and Recurrent Wheezing, run by Tokai University.

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 3 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 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The incidence of atopic asthma after three years old in the children who were born as preterm infants and prophylactically treated with palivizumab for RS virus infections during the infancy (time frame: For three years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01545245, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2014.
