A Study to Confirm the Effectiveness and Safety of AK0529 in Treating RSV Infections in Hospitalized Infants

Plain-language summary
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common respiratory infectious pathogen recognized worldwide that poses serious health risks to infants, and an important cause of hospitalization for severe respiratory infections in infants. Serious respiratory problems such as pneumonia caused by RSV are one of the leading causes of death from respiratory diseases in infants. AK0529 targets the Pre-F (fusion) protein on the surface of the viral envelope. Specifically, it prevents the virus from invading uninfected cells and inhibits the fusion between host cells by inhibiting the fusion of the F (fusion) proteins on the surface of the RSV envelope, thus providing the effects of anti-RSV infection. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AK0529 in hospitalized infants aged 1 to 24 months with RSV infection. Considering the benefits of AK0529 in the population with RSV infection, hospitalized infants with moderate to severe RSV infection were selected as the target population for this study.

Exclusion criteria
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Change from baseline in the Wang bronchiolitis clinical score
. The subject has taken any restricted medications within 3 days prior to the date of screening or requires any restricted medications during treatment phase (including interferons, ribavirin, or proprietary Chinese medicines with antiviral effects) and has taken any inhaled or systemic glucocorticoids within 24 hours.
. Subject is known to have co-infection with influenza virus, Mycoplasma, or other respiratory tract pathogens that require targeted clinical treatment .
. Subject is known to have bacterial pneumonia.
. Subject with clinical evidence of hepatic decompensation (e.g., liver disease with coagulation abnormalities or encephalopathy).
. Subject with inborn symptoms of metabolic abnormalities (e.g., mitochondrial diseases, carbohydrate metabolism abnormalities, glycogen accumulation diseases).
. Subject with chronic or persistent feeding difficulties.
. The parent or guardian of the subject is an employee of the study investigator or the study facility (such person will be directly involved in the study or any other study administered by the study facility investigator), or a family member of the study investigator or his/her staff.
. Subject who have participated in clinical trials of other drugs or devices in the 30 days prior to screening.
