Studying viral lung infections in older hospital patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at older adults (60+) who are in the hospital with lung or breathing infections caused by viruses. It aims to better understand these infections in older people, which may help improve care and treatment for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You are currently in the hospital or were hospitalized recently.

- You are willing to take part and can sign a consent form (or have someone do it for you).
- You are not in a palliative care unit.
- You are not under guardianship.

This trial looks at respiratory viruses caught in the hospital. If you are an adult patient or healthcare worker with flu-like symptoms that started while in the hospital, you may help researchers learn more about these infections.
This study looks at different types of lung infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. By analyzing fluid from your lungs, researchers hope to better understand pneumonia and improve treatment.
This study follows patients 65 and older who are hospitalized with a respiratory virus (like flu, COVID-19, or RSV) to better understand how they recover. Researchers hope to improve care and support for older adults facing these infections.
This study looks at how acute respiratory infections (like the flu, COVID-19, or RSV) affect older adults' daily functioning. If you are 60+ and in the hospital with one of these viruses, your participation would help doctors understand the lasting impact on independence and health.
This study collects information from people of any age who have a respiratory infection and are being tested for common viruses. It aims to understand these infections better and may help improve how they are treated.
This study examines how the body's natural defense system (specifically a type of immune protein) responds to common respiratory viruses like flu and cold in older adults. Researchers will analyze nasal samples that are already being collected as part of routine care to better understand why older people sometimes have different immune responses to these infections.
