Respiratory test for smarter antibiotic use
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a quick, point-of-care test for respiratory infections in primary care. The goal is to help doctors decide when antibiotics are needed, reducing unnecessary use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have symptoms of an upper respiratory infection, like cough, runny or stuffy nose, fever, sore throat, ear pain, or sinus pain.

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 tests if a quick blood test (C-reactive protein, CRP) and a patient leaflet can help doctors prescribe antibiotics only when needed for adults with respiratory tract infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This trial tests a new approach to treating adults with respiratory infections in primary care, especially those at higher risk of getting very sick. If you have a cold, bronchitis, or pneumonia and are being treated outside the hospital, you may be eligible.
This trial tests whether a fast multiplex PCR test (a molecular test that identifies multiple respiratory viruses at once) helps urgent care doctors treat patients with common respiratory illnesses more effectively. The test results are analyzed to see if they improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary antibiotics.
This study tests a new way to quickly identify respiratory infections in children using a nose swab. It aims to help doctors choose the right treatment faster and avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial tests an emergency breathing-related approach for adults with a sudden, community-acquired respiratory infection. It may help doctors quickly sort out what’s going on and guide early care.
