Remdesivir for the Treatment of Upper Respiratory Tract Infection Due to RSV in Immunocompromised Individuals

An Open-Label Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Remdesivir for Treatment of Symptomatic Laboratory-Confirmed Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection of the Upper Respiratory Tract in Patients Receiving Cellular or Bispecific Antibody Therapies

Remdesivir for the Treatment of Upper Respiratory Tract Infection Due to RSV in Immunocompromised Individuals (NCT06817889) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm and Autoimmune Disease, sponsored by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This phase II trial tests how well remdesivir works for treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection of the upper respiratory tract in patients receiving cellular or bispecific antibody therapy. Cellular or bispecific antibody therapies cause suppression of the immune system, making infections more frequent and reducing the body's ability to fight the infections. RSV infections are one of the most common respiratory infections in immunocompromised individuals and can cause significant pneumonia and even death. Remdesivir is in a class of medications called antivirals. It works by stopping viruses from spreading in the body.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 60 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Aged ≥ 18 years - Willing and able to provide written willing to sign a consent form, or with a legal representative who can provide willing to sign a consent form (where locally approved) - RSV confirmed by local lab testing via nucleic acid amplification test (e.g. polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\] or respiratory viral panel \[RVP\]) using an upper respiratory tract sample collected within the 5 days prior to day 1 (RDV dosing) - Symptomatic RSV infection of the upper respiratory tract, with symptom onset and positive microbiologic testing within the 5 days prior to day 1 (RDV dosing).

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
