An Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial To Prevent the Progression of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Upper Respiratory Tract Infection to Lower Respiratory Tract Infection in Patients After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Ribavirin for Bone Marrow Transplant Infection and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ribavirin can help to control RSV in patients with immune systems that have been weakened by a stem cell transplant. Researchers also want to compare the effectiveness of the drug when it is given by mouth to when it is inhaled. The safety of the drug in both methods of delivery will be studied. Ribavirin is designed to prevent the RSV virus from making more copies of itself in the body.
