About this study

Official title: Beta Study to Evaluate Functionality and Equivalence of MPBA (Multi Purpose Breath Analyzer-new Generation Exalenz Breath Analyzer) Compared to Currently Approved BreathID System in Assessment of Liver Function

The aim of the study is to confirm that the new generation state of the art breath analyzer gives equivalent results to the previous model of the Exalenz breath analyzer.

Read the detailed description

Healthy and chronic liver disease subjects of all grades will be tested to see that the two devices give equivalent results in both devices. Subjects will be connected to both devices at the same time and will be tested for one hour.

The breath test includes automatic baseline breath collection, 13C-Methacetin ingestion in solution and breath collection post ingestion.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MPBA SystemDevice

    Also called Multi Purpose Breath Analyzer, BreathID LF

    MPBA is the new generation Multi Purpose Breath Analyzer

  • BreathIDDevice

    BreathID is the name of the original Exalenz breath analyzer system

Study groups in NCT02187601
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CLD with MPBA and BIDExperimentalChronic Liver Disease (CLD) patients of all degrees will be offered to be tested on the MPBA (multi purpose breath analyzer) and BID (BreathID) on a walk- in basis with , proving they meet inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Receives: Device: MPBA System; Device: BreathID
HV with MPBA and BIDExperimentalHealthy volunteers (HV) with no known liver disease will undergo the breath test with the MPBA and the BID before and after substrate ingestion.
Receives: Device: MPBA System; Device: BreathID

What is being measured

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

  1. DOB Peak

    The DOB (Delta over Baseline) is measured before and after ingestion of challenging test substrate: 13C- Methacetin. The peak of the DOB is indicative of liver health.

    Measured: One hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of subjects with adverse events related to breath test substrate

    Adverse events within 48 hours of the breath test will be recorded

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MPBA System and BreathID in people with Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) and Healthy Volunteers, run by Meridian Bioscience, Inc. at 1 site in Israel.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 20 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. 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?

DOB Peak (time frame: One hour). 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 20 Dec 2022.
