HARMONIE Research Study now under way at our Askham Bar Community Care Centre
The Children’s Ambulatory Treatment (CAT) Hub at our Askham Bar Community Care Centre is one of several Clinical Trial Sites in the Yorkshire and Humber region for the HARMONIE Research Study, which is investigating whether it’s possible to reduce the chance of babies becoming seriously unwell with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) by giving them a single dose of nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody immunisation.
We’ll be running clinics until March and are looking for babies to participate in this important research study. In fact, our first three patients attended our Askham Bar site last week.
This video provides more information about the study itself, and this case study tells the story of a mum of two whose baby daughter was hospitalised with RSV and wants to make other parents aware of the importance of the study.
Parents who are interested and would like more information can also email the local research team.
