Official title: Clinical Multimodal Early Warning Surveillance of Respiratory Syndrome Pathogens and Construction and Application of Prevention and Control Measures
Run by Huashan Hospital · NCT07694648 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This nationwide study tests a hospital-based system to track respiratory pathogens in patients with respiratory symptoms and to use samples collected during care to spot trends and support prevention efforts.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with a diagnosed respiratory syndrome at participating hospitals who meet the predefined ICD-10 criteria or have evidence of a respiratory pathogen, recent antiviral treatment, or related diagnoses.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose respiratory illness is not linked to detectable pathogens or who are not enrolled under the specified criteria may not experience direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, nationwide observational effort to establish and refine a hospital-based surveillance and early warning system for respiratory pathogens. Data and biospecimens collected during routine care are transmitted every two weeks to monitor pathogen trends, support risk assessment, and inform prevention and control strategies. Eligible patients with respiratory syndrome seen in fever clinics, emergency departments, outpatient clinics, or inpatient wards across seven regions will contribute standardized clinical data and selected biospecimens for testing using routine pathogen panels, multiplex PCR, sequencing, and exploratory multi-omics analyses as clinically appropriate. The study aims to generate regional and national surveillance reports to aid early warning and public health responses. Interventions center on tiered pathogen testing and multi-omics analyses to enhance pathogen identification and characterization.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could improve early detection of circulating respiratory pathogens and inform timely public health actions to prevent outbreaks.
How similar studies have gone: Prior surveillance efforts using systematic data collection and pathogen testing have demonstrated value in detecting outbreaks and informing responses, though this specific tiered, multi-omics approach is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients with respiratory syndrome: Eligible patients are those diagnosed with respiratory syndrome based on the predefined data dictionary and the following ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) diagnosis codes: R05, R50, J00, J01, J02, J03, J04, J06, J07, J08, J09, J10, J11, J12, J13, J14, J15, J16, J17, J18, J20, J21, J98.414, and J98.802.
* Patients with respiratory syndrome: Eligible patients are identified using the following search criteria. Patients meeting any one of the following criteria should be included:
1. Medical history (History of Present Illness): Positive test result for a respiratory syndrome-related pathogen.
2. Laboratory testing: Positive test result for a respiratory syndrome-related pathogen.
3. Medication: Receipt of any of the following antiviral agents:
Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir Leritrelvir Xiannuotewei/Ritonavir Molnupiravir Azvudine Deuremidevir
4. Diagnosis: Diagnosis containing the term "respiratory tract infection."
Exclusion Criteria:
* Participants who may compromise the study results: Patients who are unable to provide a specimen or whose specimen volume is insufficient for laboratory testing.
* Participants who are unable to comply with study procedures.
