NCT03062917

Brief Summary

This study will compare the novel methods of NS and BS with the standard technique of nasophayngeal aspiration (NPA) and routine ETT suction. We shall assess the samples for diagnosis of RSV, viral load and immune responses in the airways of babies with RSV infection. We shall also assess the genetics of babies included in this study, to see if they may be vulnerable to RSV infection.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • The Number of Sampling Visits on Which Participants Are Willing to Undergo Nasosorption and/or NPA Sampling

    To determine the difference in tolerability of nasosorption compared to NPA by assessment of acceptance by infants and families. Samples were collected from participants up to twice daily throughout study involvement, as such each participant could have \>1 sampling visits.

    Throughout symptomatic respiratory infection, up to 1 month

  • Accuracy of Nasosorption for Viral Load Measurement

    To determine the difference in accuracy of nasosorption compared to NPA by assessment of level of viral load (measured by qPCR).

    Throughout symptomatic respiratory infection, up to 1 month

  • Accuracy of Bronchosorption for Viral Load Measurement, Compared to Tracheal Aspirate

    To determine the difference in accuracy of bronchosorption (BSAM) compared to tracheal aspirate (TA) by assessment of level of viral load (measured by qPCR).

    Throughout symptomatic respiratory infection, up to 1 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Immune Response

    Throughout symptomatic respiratory infection, up to 1 month

Eligibility Criteria

Age2 Weeks - 2 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Infants aged 2 weeks-24 months
  • Presentation to the Emergency Department with any upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in the RSV season (Oct-March).
  • OR • Documented RSV infection, admitted to the paediatric wards at St Mary's Hospital.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any local or systemic factor that would influence the safety of nasal sampling.
  • Bilateral indwelling nasal catheters or local nasal pathology preventing access for nasal sampling.
  • Bleeding disorders.
  • The baby is taking part in another interventional study.
  • The parents or guardians not able to sign the informed consent from due to limited English or comprehension despite the use of independent interpreter services.
  • Limited life expectancy of the baby,
  • Group 3
  • Hospitalised Infants admitted to the PICU at St. Mary's Hospital, aged 2 weeks-24 months with documented RSV infection (by rapid test and/or PCR).
  • Infants of weight \>2kg.
  • On a conventional ventilator with an Endotracheal Tube (ETT) of \>3.0mmm diameter
  • Any local or systemic factor that would influence the safety of nasal sampling.
  • Bilateral nasal catheters or local nasal pathology preventing access for nasal sampling.
  • The baby is taking part in another interventional study.
  • Prematurity - corrected gestational age \<36 weeks, weight \<2kg
  • Significant hypoxia or instability precluding ventilator disconnection
  • +14 more criteria
