Respiratory Syncytial Virus

What Is Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)?

You have probably heard of Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, which is a specific version of the common cold. This virus is transported and contacted through moisture and water droplets, so it may enter your body through your eyes, nose, or mouth. However, if left untreated, especially in young children, this cold may develop into bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Older adults may be at higher risk for developing a more serious ailment as well. To prevent more severe illness and recover from RSV, contact Internal Medicine Las Vegas Nevada. Our Las Vegas, NV office will help get you set up with a diagnostic appointment, and Dr. Roger Estevez will help treat you on an individualized basis.

NOW ENROLLING!

Do You Have A New Upper Respiratory Tract Infection?

A Clinical Trial Might Be An Option For You!

The purpose of this research study is to see if EDP-938 (an experimental drug) is safe and effective when treating RSV, a common cause of colds, as compared to treating RSV with a placebo (a pill that has no active medicine in it), by you providing information of your symptoms on a daily basis.

How Do I Know If I Qualify To Participate?

You might qualify to participate if you have recently tested positive for RSV and have congestive heart failure, COPD or asthma, or are 65 years of age or older. You must be at least 18 years old and will need to meet with a physician who is participating in this study to determine if you are fully eligible and if this study is right for you.

How Long Does This Study Last And What Will I Have To Do?

If you decide to participate in this study, you will be asked to make a total of 6 visits to the study location over the next 33 days. Your study physician will provide you with the study drug, which could contain either active treatment or placebo, and perform assessments to track your overall health and progress throughout the study.

How Do I Find Out More Information?

For more information, contact a participating physician or research center.

How did this study work?

The study aims to enroll about 180 adults globally at sites in North America, Latin America, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

This study consists of a “Screening Period”, which may last up to 24 hours; a “Treatment Period”, where you receive or take the study drug once a day for 5 consecutive days; and a “Follow-up Period”, which will last 28 days after you take your last set of the study drug.

Neither you nor your study doctor will know whether you receive EDP-938 or placebo.

Why is this study important?

Currently, there is no approved treatment for RSV infection in adults.

If EDP-938 is effective at treating RSV, it may shorten the amount of time you feel unwell and prevent a more severe RSV infection.

The data we get from you during this study may help doctors learn more about the study drug as RSV treatment and this may help future patients.
