About this study

To evaluate if a rapid urine Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) is non-inferior to the traditional swab NAAT for gonorrhea and chlamydia when performed in the Emergency Department.

Read the detailed description

All patients presenting to the Emergency Department during the study period who are tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia by the traditional swab NAAT will concurrently have their urine tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia using the Cepheid GeneXpert rapid NAAT. The result of both tests will be compared to determine if the rapid assay is non-inferior to the current traditional NAAT. Both the traditional and Cepheid GeneXpert rapid NAAT are FDA and CDC approved for evaluation of gonorrhea and chlamydia. However, the Cepheid GeneXpert rapid NAAT has not been prospectively validated in the Emergency Department setting. We intend for both the provider obtaining the sample and the technician running the rapid assay sample to be blinded to the result of the traditional NAAT. The Cepheid GeneXpert rapid NAAT will not be used in patient care decisions.

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?

Diagnosis of a chlamydia trachomatis or neisseria gonorrhoeae (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02386514, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
