Flu immune response study by age
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the immune system reacts to the flu in people of different ages. If you have flu symptoms and don't have cancer or take immune-suppressing drugs, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, or body aches.
- Or you have a confirmed airway infection (like bronchitis or pneumonia).
- You do NOT have an active cancer right now.
- You are NOT taking medications that suppress your immune system (except for hydrocortisone).
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must not have had an airway infection in the past 4 weeks, or be on antibiotics or immune-suppressing medicine.

This study looks at how the body's inflammatory response (immune system markers) differs between older adults who have a current respiratory virus infection and those who don't. Researchers will measure these markers to better understand how the body fights these common infections.
This study looks at how your immune system fights off flu or COVID-19. If you have a current or recent infection, or if you've been vaccinated in the past year, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how children's immune systems fight the flu in the nose and throat. It aims to understand why some children get very sick and others don't, which could help create better treatments and vaccines.
This study looks at how your lungs and lymph nodes respond to flu infection and the nasal flu vaccine. It will help researchers understand how to create better protection against the flu.
This study looks at how your immune system responds to COVID-19 or the flu. It may help researchers understand these infections better, whether you are currently sick or healthy.
This study looks at how your immune system (your body’s infection-fighting system) responds during and around the time of a flu illness. It’s meant to help researchers better understand immune changes in healthy adults and may guide future flu care.
