Picornaviridae infectious disease

This study tests an inactivated EV71 vaccine (Envacgen®) in healthy children aged 6 to under 10 years and compares their immune response and safety to children aged 2 to under 6 years. Around 378 children will receive two shots 57 days apart. The goal is to see if the vaccine wor…

This study looks at whether a special team of doctors and nurses can treat adults with suspected infections at home, instead of sending them to the hospital. About 500 people will be randomly assigned to either standard hospital care or home-based care from a mobile response team…

This study tests a new, team-based rehabilitation program for 125 working-age adults with persistent physical symptoms and chronic fatigue. The program includes doctors, therapists, and counselors who work together to help patients manage their symptoms and improve daily function…

This study looks at how the immune system of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) responds to severe infections caused by viruses or bacteria. Researchers will take extra blood samples from 38 adults to analyze immature granulocytes, a type of immune cell. The goal is to see…

This study follows up on 220 children who received the EV71 vaccine (Envacgen®) or a placebo about 6 years ago. Researchers will measure antibody levels in the blood to see if protection against enterovirus 71, which causes hand-foot-mouth disease, has lasted. The goal is to unde…

This study compares new, less invasive ways to collect samples for respiratory virus testing—like a nasal wash or saliva—against the standard deep nose swab. Researchers want to see if these gentler methods work just as well and cause less pain. About 1,000 adults in the emergenc…

This study aimed to see if a computer could learn to predict how long a patient would stay in a home hospital program. Researchers planned to use data from past patients to train the computer. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study looks at immune cells from people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus), people with infections, and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ and what makes them attack the body in autoimmune conditions. The study involves blood and bon…
