RSV and respiratory infection study for adults 50+
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are aged 50 or older.
- You have had at least two respiratory symptoms (like cough, sore throat, runny nose) within the last 48 hours, or one respiratory symptom plus one systemic symptom (like fever, headache, fatigue).
- You are willing to provide a biological sample (like a nasal swab) and give written consent.
- You live in the study area and have not recently been in another similar study.
- If you are a household member of a person who meets the above, you may also join if you are 50+ or a child under 5.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tracks how respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)—a common respiratory infection in babies—affects children under 24 months in Ho Chi Minh City. Researchers want to understand how often RSV happens, how severe it is, and how it impacts families, so they can better prepare healthcare services.
This study tests how older adults' immune systems respond to a mild RSV virus given as a nasal spray. It helps researchers understand RSV and may lead to better vaccines or treatments.
This study tests a new vaccine to protect against RSV (a common respiratory virus that causes cold-like illness, especially serious in older adults). The vaccine is made in laboratory cell cultures and includes an immune-boosting ingredient. Researchers want to see if it's safe and if it helps your body fight RSV infection.
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 study looks at how common RSV (a virus that can cause coughing and breathing problems) is in adults with a recent respiratory infection. If you have a cough or other cold-like symptoms and are 18 or older, you might be able to help by giving a sputum and saliva sample.
This study looks at how common RSV (a virus that can cause serious breathing problems) is in older adults who are hospitalized with respiratory symptoms or worsening heart/lung conditions. By joining, you help researchers understand the virus and improve care for people your age.
