What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

In Phase 2, researchers evaluate early signs of effectiveness. You may be randomized to receive the active treatment or a comparator. Monitoring continues closely.

This trial targets 1,000 participants in total. It began in 2024-07-25 with a primary completion date of 2027-01-01.

Brief Summary

This trial will use a previously validated platform, to quantitatively assess antiviral effects in low-risk patients with high viral burdens and uncomplicated Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), to determine in-vivo antiviral activity. In this randomised, open-label, controlled, group sequential adaptive platform trial, we will assess and compare the performance of currently licensed interventions (including repurposed drugs) with activity against RSV, and those with potential activity demonstrated in pre-clinical and early clinical studies relative to each-other, and the control (no antiviral treatment). ARSYNAL-FC study is funded by Wellcome Trust Grant ref: 226933/Z/23/Z through the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator
