Observational study of respiratory infections in primary care
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tracks how patients with respiratory infections (like bronchitis, sore throats, or COVID-19) are treated in family doctor offices across Europe. The goal is to learn more about these infections and improve care. You may be able to join if you have a cough, sore throat, or other symptoms that suggest a respiratory infection, and you go to a participating clinic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptoms like a new or worse cough (less than 28 days), and/or sore throat or runny nose (less than 14 days).
- Your symptoms could also be from COVID-19, the flu, or RSV.
- For one specific part of the study, you must be 60 or older, or be 50–59 with a condition that makes you eligible for the flu vaccine (like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease).
- You must be willing and able to give informed consent (or a legal guardian can do it for you). For one part, you also must agree to a nasal or throat swab.
- If you need to be hospitalized, you can still join one part of the study if you get a swab taken before admission, but you may not be able to continue with follow-up.
- You are not eligible if you have symptoms that are clearly not from an infection (like allergies) or if you cannot follow study instructions due to language or health reasons.

This trial tests a new approach to treating respiratory infections in adults who are at higher risk of becoming seriously ill but can still be treated in an outpatient clinic. It aims to see if this approach helps prevent severe disease.
This trial tests whether a simple finger-prick test (C-reactive protein or CRP) can help doctors decide whether antibiotics are needed for adults with a cold or other respiratory infection. If you are an adult with recent symptoms and have not taken antibiotics yet, you may be able to join.
This study tracks viruses that cause sudden colds and flu-like illnesses during winter months in France. Researchers collect information from patients seen by participating doctors to better understand which respiratory viruses are circulating and help prepare for future outbreaks.
This study tracks patients with breathing problems to see which germs are making them sick. Doctors will use tests and medical records to watch for different pathogens.
This study looks at how common respiratory viruses like RSV are in adults aged 50 and older in China. If you have cold or flu symptoms, you may be asked to provide samples to help researchers understand these infections better.
This study looks at the burden of respiratory tract infections on hospitalized patients by reviewing existing hospital records. It may help improve care and resources for future patients with similar infections.
