Trial summary

Rhinovirus (RV) has long been known as the main etiological agent of "common colds" among children and adults. Indeed, RV is involved in more than 50% of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs), mostly characterized by nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sore throat and cough. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on the Epidemiology of Rhinovirus

Rhinovirus (RV) has long been known as the main etiological agent of "common colds" among children and adults. Indeed, RV is involved in more than 50% of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs), mostly characterized by nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sore throat and cough. RV can also cause mild to severe lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) such as acute bronchiolitis, pneumonia and exacerbations of underlying chronic lung diseases. RV circulates worldwide, especially in temperate climate zones (i.e. many areas of the USA and Europe) and is responsible for annual outbreaks from early fall to the end of spring.

The covid-19 pandemic in 2020 seemed to interfere with the usual seasonal epidemics. For example, the winter Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) epidemic in Lyon, France, was delayed for several months and reduced by half in terms of incidence of hospitalization cases. This can be explained by the widespread deployment of barrier gestures and social distancing measures, known as "non pharmacological interventions" (NPI).

However, the Covid-19 pandemic doesn't seem to have the same reducing impact on Rhinovirus epidemic. A better understanding of viral interactions and factors influencing RV epidemiology as well as the identification of populations at greater risk are required to improve preventive strategies and reduce the burden of Rhinovirus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution of the number of children hospitalized for a Rhinovirus-infection in the period of pre Covid-19 pandemic.

    Description of number of clinical picture cases for pre-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic year.

    Measured: From one year before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic until the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

  2. Evolution of the number of children hospitalized for a Rhinovirus-infection in the period of per-Covid-19 pandemic.

    Description of number of clinical picture cases for per-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic year.

    Measured: From the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic until one year latter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rhinovirus, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 1 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 27 Apr 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dominique PLOIN, MD (: 04 27 85 56 42, dominique.ploin@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evolution of the number of children hospitalized for a Rhinovirus-infection in the period of pre Covid-19 pandemic. (time frame: From one year before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic until the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Apr 2022.
