NCT05953233 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) cleaners in reducing respiratory viral exposure and infections in elementary school classrooms. Classrooms will be randomized to active vs. sham HEPA cleaners. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do classroom HEPA cleaners reduce exposure to viruses? * Do classroom HEPA cleaners reduce student and teacher infections? * Do classroom HEPA cleaners reduce infections in family members?

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05953233

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05953233 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 200 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Massachusetts General Hospital, which has 1,948 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Viral Infection appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Active classroom HEPA cleaner is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05953233 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
