Trial summary

Study hypothesis: Intrapartum polimeraze chain reaction (PCR)of group B streptoccocus (GBS) test is more accurate than Culture of GBS at 35-37 weeks gestation for GBS carriage. The investigators will compare GBS culture and PCR results taken at 35-37 weeks gestation to intrapartum PCR GBS and GBS cultures status. Read more about this study

About this study

Study hypothesis: Intrapartum polimeraze chain reaction (PCR)of group B streptoccocus (GBS) test is more accurate than Culture of GBS at 35-37 weeks gestation for GBS carriage.

The investigators will compare GBS culture and PCR results taken at 35-37 weeks gestation to intrapartum PCR GBS and GBS cultures status.

The larger perspective of this trial is to check the possibility of replacing the GBS culture screening program at 35-37 weeks gestation with a more accurate examination (PCR), avoiding the changing GBS carriage status from the time of culture at 35-37 weeks to delivery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intrapartum GBS carriage staus measured by PCR and culture compared to GBS culture and PCR at 35-37 weeks gestation

    Intrapartum GBS carriage status measured by culture and PCR will be compared to GBS carriage stauts measured by the same tests at 35-37 weeks gestation.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of GBS, run by The Baruch Padeh Medical Center, Poriya.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Intrapartum GBS carriage staus measured by PCR and culture compared to GBS culture and PCR at 35-37 weeks gestation (time frame: One year). 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 18 Apr 2013.
