About this study

Official title: A Two Arm, Multi-Centre Clinical Evaluation of the NxTAG Respiratory Pathogen Panel (NxTAG RPP) in Patients With Clinical Signs and Symptoms of Respiratory Tract Infection

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Blinded, Pre-selected ArmFor targets that exhibit lower prevalence rates in the intended use population, banked, pre-selected, positive clinical specimens will be tested.
Receives: Device: xTAG RPP
Blinded, Prospective ArmDiagnostic accuracy for the more prevalent targets will be evaluated in prospectively collected, de-identified, left-over, clinical specimens accrued during the 2012/2013 flu season.
Receives: Device: xTAG RPP

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnostic accuracy will be expressed in terms of clinical sensitivity and specificity for each claimed target.

    Accuracy determinations (diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative agreement) were based on the fraction of comparator positive (or negative) results which were also positive (or negative) by xTAG RPP.

    Measured: Within the first year after sample extraction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Tract Infection and Bronchitis, run by Luminex Molecular Diagnostics at 4 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy will be expressed in terms of clinical sensitivity and specificity for each claimed target. (time frame: Within the first year after sample extraction). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Mar 2016.
