What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers are testing AZD0543, an experimental antibody, in healthy adults aged 18 to 55. The trial gives a single injection or infusion of AZD0543 or a placebo to check safety and how the body processes the drug. The goal is to see whether this antibody could one day help prevent human metapneumovirus infection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AZD0543, an experimental antibody given as a single injection or infusion
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a preventive antibody treatment for human metapneumovirus, a common respiratory virus with no approved vaccine or therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a first-in-human Phase 1 study in 144 healthy adults, so it mainly tests safety and dosing, not whether the antibody prevents infection. Many experimental antibodies fail later, and injection or infusion reactions are possible.
