Testing new ways to identify respiratory viruses
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests “new technologies” to identify what virus is causing a respiratory illness, using samples taken from inside your nose. It may help doctors get faster, more accurate answers about the cause of your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A parent/guardian consent (if you’re a child) and your own agreement to join
- You can give a swab/sample from inside the nose (nasopharyngeal swab/aspirate)
- You currently have signs that could be a new respiratory viral infection—such as runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion
- You have one or more of these symptoms: new cough, sore throat, headache and/or muscle aches, fever or chills
- A study doctor must believe taking the nose sample is safe and won’t be harmful for you

This study tests new diagnostic tools to help quickly identify what's causing your respiratory infection. You'll provide samples (like nasal swabs) to help researchers understand how these new tests work in real patients.
This trial is testing a new at-home test for respiratory infections like the flu and COVID-19. The test is done by you or a caregiver using a nose swab. It may help you get quick and accurate results without going to a clinic.
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.
This trial looks at respiratory viruses caught in the hospital. If you are an adult patient or healthcare worker with flu-like symptoms that started while in the hospital, you may help researchers learn more about these infections.
This trial evaluates a new test that can detect flu A/B, RSV, and COVID-19 from a single nose swab. It is for people who are currently sick with respiratory symptoms and are either hospitalized, in the ER, visiting a clinic, or living in a long-term care facility.
This study tracks how respiratory viruses spread in the community and within households. It involves testing and collecting samples from people who are sick or healthy, to help better understand and prevent outbreaks.
