Immune and microbial environment profile in young infants with RSV bronchiolitis
Official title: ENVIEANCILLAIRE: Efficacy of Nirsevimab in Children Hospitalised With RSV Bronchiolitis - A Subsidiary Study on the Immune Signature and Microbial Environment
Run by Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil · NCT07698769 · Data updated 2026-11-12
The study tests the immune and microbiome signatures in infants ≤6 months with RSV-related bronchiolitis, using nasal swabs and blood samples when possible.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Infants aged 0–6 months who are enrolled in the ENVIE study, with a case of RSV bronchiolitis or eligible for control grouping, whose guardians provide consent and meet local eligibility criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Some participants may not show a detectable difference in immune markers or microbiome between groups, limiting direct clinical benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational study analyzes mucosal and systemic immune markers in infants aged 0–6 months who are part of the ENVIE study. It collects nasopharyngeal swabs, fingertip blood samples, and, for eligible weight, additional blood for advanced immunological analyses. Researchers quantify innate and inflammatory mediators (including type I/II/III interferons, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-10) and local antibody levels, and profile the microbiome and virome using sequencing. The aim is to understand how the host immune response and microbial environment relate to RSV bronchiolitis in early infancy. The study compares RSV cases to appropriate controls and is conducted at multiple pediatric centers in France.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could improve understanding of how early-life immunity and microbiome relate to RSV bronchiolitis, potentially informing future diagnostics or interventions.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work in young children has revealed associations between mucosal immunity and respiratory infections, but this exact multi-omics approach in RSV bronchiolitis is relatively novel.
