RSV and COPD Flare-Ups Study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether RSV (a common respiratory virus) is linked to COPD flare-ups that need urgent care. By testing patients during a flare-up, researchers hope to understand how RSV affects COPD and find better ways to manage it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You are currently seeking urgent medical care for a sudden worsening of COPD symptoms (like shortness of breath, cough, or mucus) that started within the last 2 weeks.
- You have not received a vaccine for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) before.
- You do not have an active cancer or any other condition that might affect your immune system.
- You do not have a neurological disorder that would prevent you from participating.
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form to take part in the study.

This trial tests whether the RSV vaccine can reduce repeated COPD flare-ups. You may qualify if you are 50+, have COPD, smoke or used to smoke, and have had frequent flare-ups while on a recommended dual inhaler.
This study looks at how the common cold virus affects people with COPD to find new treatments. If you have moderate COPD and your symptoms flare up when you catch a cold, you may be able to help.
This study will safely expose healthy older adults (65-75) to a mild RSV B virus to see how their immune system responds. It may help develop better vaccines or treatments for RSV in older people.
This study tests an RSV vaccine in adults aged 18 and older, especially those with chronic health issues like heart or lung disease. It aims to see how safe and effective the vaccine is at preventing RSV infections.
This study looks for markers in the blood that can tell how serious an RSV infection might become. If you are hospitalized with RSV and have breathing symptoms, this trial will follow your recovery and test for clues about your illness.
This trial tests a new way to diagnose and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) flare-ups (sudden worsening of symptoms). It aims to help people who come to the emergency room with a COPD flare-up get better care and follow-up.
