About this study

Official title: Follow-up of the Nasal Microbiome and Viral Infections in Newborns Hospitalised in Neonatology in the University Hospital of Caen, France : Metatranscriptomics Approach by Next Generation Sequencing From Nasal Swabs.

The goal of this interventional study is to learn about nasal microbiome and viral infections in newborns hospitalised in neonatology.

The main questions it aims to answer are :

  • how often are newborns infected by viruses in neonatology ?
  • how does the microbiome develop during first weeks of life ?
  • how does microbiome and viruses interacts together ?
  • is there a link between viral infection, microbiome, and medical complications during hospitalisation in neonatology ? Participants will have a nasal swab taken each week during their hospitalisation in neonatology, and researchers will take medical data from the medical chart.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nasal swabDiagnostic test

    We will take nasal swabs from anterior and middle nostril, once a week for each newborn included.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in microbiome diversity

    Shannon diversity index

    Measured: Day 0, day 7, day 14, and each week until discharge (maximum duration : 3 months for each newborn).

  2. Change in microbiome abundance

    Number of reads for a given taxonomy.

    Measured: Day 0, day 7, day 14, and each week until discharge (maximum duration : 3 months for each newborn).

  3. Virus presence

    Molecular detection of respiratory viruses using multiplex PCR.

    Measured: Day 0, day 7, day 14, and each week until discharge (maximum duration : 3 months for each newborn).

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Occurence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia

    assessed by clinical recording on discharge from neonatology

    Measured: At discharge from neonatology.

  2. Change in expression of local innate immunity markers

    Mesure of the expression of the interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), anti-viral genes, and the inflammasome pathway.

    Measured: Day 0, day 7, day 14, and each week until discharge (maximum duration : 3 months for each newborn).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal swab in people with Microbial Colonization and Viral Infection, run by University Hospital, Caen 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 3 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 13 Feb 2024. 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?

Change in microbiome diversity (time frame: Day 0, day 7, day 14, and each week until discharge (maximum duration : 3 months for each newborn).). The study lists 3 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 13 Feb 2024.
