COVID-19 respiratory sample testing using virus genetic clues
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at respiratory samples from adults after COVID-19 to better understand what viruses may be present and how they change over time. If you live in Hong Kong and can consent, you may be able to help researchers learn from your samples and symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are an adult who normally lives in Hong Kong
- You can communicate in English and/or Chinese
- You can give your informed consent to join
- You should not have a mental illness that would affect participation
- You should not be in prison (not a prisoner)

This study looks at how people’s immune protection after COVID-19 may change over time. It aims to better understand immunity, which could help doctors plan future care and prevention.
This study looks at how common RSV (a virus that can cause coughing and breathing problems) is in adults with a recent respiratory infection. If you have a cough or other cold-like symptoms and are 18 or older, you might be able to help by giving a sputum and saliva sample.
This study tests community-based health education in Hong Kong to help people recognize COVID-19 early, get vaccinated, and use everyday self-protective steps. It may help participants learn practical ways to lower their risk and respond sooner if symptoms appear.
This study collects sent-in samples to better understand how your immune system responds during a COVID-19–like illness and after you recover. It may help researchers learn why some people get sick and others stay uninfected, and how immune protection works over time.
This study collects samples from people who currently have, recently had, or may have been exposed to common respiratory viruses. The goal is to use these samples to develop and test future countermeasures (like treatments) against COVID-19 and other viruses.
This study collects samples from people who have or might have a cold/respiratory virus, then stores them for future research. It may help researchers better understand respiratory germs and develop better treatments.
