A new approach for respiratory infections in primary care
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your symptoms started within the last 7 days.
- This is your first doctor visit for this illness.
- You are 18 or older.
- You have either a high-risk factor for severe infection (like a chronic condition) or a lower respiratory tract infection (like bronchitis or pneumonia).
- Your doctor agrees you can be treated as an outpatient, not in the hospital.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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.
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 trial tests whether using a fast, bedside PCR test (which quickly identifies the virus or bacteria causing your illness) can help doctors choose the right treatment sooner for adults admitted to the hospital with a respiratory infection like pneumonia or flu. It aims to improve care by tailoring antibiotics or antivirals to the specific cause.
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 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.
