About this study

A three-arm, multi-site clinical evaluation of the ARIES Bordetella Assay for the detection and identification of Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) and Bordetella parapertussis (B. parapertussis) nucleic acids in prospectively collected, de-identified, left-over clinical specimens; banked, pre-selected clinical specimens; and contrived specimens.

Read the detailed description

The ARIES Bordetella Assay is a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection and identification of Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) and Bordetella parapertussis (B. parapertussis) nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) specimens obtained from individuals suspected of having a respiratory tract infection attributable to B. pertussis or B. parapertussis.

Clinical nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected using nasopharyngeal swab in transport media will be processed according to the routine procedure followed at the clinical collection site and as ordered by the referring physician. The leftover specimen will be blinded and assigned a unique clinical study specimen number. In order to preserve the confidentiality of subjects, the following procedures will be implemented at each site:

  • Clinical specimens will be individually numbered by an honest broker who is not involved in investigational testing so that the identity of the subject may not be readily ascertained by the investigator, investigational testing staff, or study Sponsor.
  • Available clinical information accompanying the specimens will be provided in such a way that it does not make the specimen source identifiable to the investigator or any other individuals associated with investigational testing, including the Sponsor.
  • No personal identifier (protected health information) will be included on the case report form (CRF) so that the confidentiality of each subject is protected.

Multiple aliquots of each left-over specimen will be generated. One aliquot of each specimen will be shipped to a laboratory where the reference method (two validated real-time PCR methods for each, B. pertussis and B. parapertussis) will be performed. A second aliquot of each specimen will be used by the clinical sites for ARIES Bordetella Assay testing. Additional aliquots of each specimen will be stored frozen (-65 to -95°C) at the clinical sites and sent separately on dry ice to the Sponsor upon Sponsor's request.

The prospective data set will be supplemented with banked, pre-selected clinical specimens and contrived specimens that tested positive by a comparator method for B. pertussis and B. parapertussis. If contrived specimens are required, these specimens will be prepared then blinded, aliquoted, randomized and frozen (-65 to -95°C) until distributed to the clinical testing sites by the Sponsor.

The clinical data will be automatically generated from the ARIES System software. The system will report the specimen as B. pertussis and B. parapertussis positive (Co-infection), B. pertussis positive, B. parapertussis positive, B. pertussis and B. parapertussis negative or Invalid. Invalid results will be retested and both the original data and the retest data will be reported. The clinical data will be compared to the reference data and recorded in the clinical study reports.

Blinded, Pre-selected Arm (2)ExperimentalIn the event that an insufficient number of positive specimens are acquired for B. pertussis / B. parapertussis in Arm 1, clinical performance of the ARIES Bordetella Assay will be tested using banked, pre-selected, positive clinical specimens.

What is being measured

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

  1. Specificity and sensitivity of the ARIES Bordetella Assay in patients suspected of having respiratory infection attributable to B. pertussis or B. parapertussis.

    Estimates of positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement for each target will be calculated based on a two-by-two table (reference method result vs. result from ARIES Bordetella Assay) for each target. In addition, 95% two sided confidence intervals will be provided. Positive agreement and negative agreement values will be provided for the entire prospective data set.

    Measured: 5 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical performance of the ARIES Bordetella Assay per clinical site.

    Positive agreement and negative agreement values will be provided for each clinical site.

    Measured: 5 months

  2. Clinical performance of the ARIES Bordetella Assay per age group.

    Positive agreement and negative agreement values will be provided for pediatric vs. adult patients.

    Measured: 5 months

  3. Clinical performance of the ARIES Bordetella Assay per patient sub-population.

    Positive agreement and negative agreement values will be provided for each patient sub population (e.g., immuno-competent vs. immuno-compromised patients, and hospitalized vs. outpatient vs. long-term care facility).

    Measured: 5 months

Model description
The study is comprised of three arms: Arm 1: Blinded, Prospective Arm Primary arm comprised of prospectively collected, de-identified, left-over nasopharyngeal swab specimens. Arm 2: Blinded, Pre-selected Arm Because both B. pertussis and B. parapertussis exhibited low prevalence rates in the prospective study cohort, the prospective sample set was supplemented with banked (pre-selected) positive specimens collected at selected sites. Arm 3: Contrived Specimens Because the number of B. parapertussis positive clinical specimens tested in Arm 1 and Arm 2 of the study was insufficient for accurate estimate of positive percent agreement (PPA) for this target, fifty (50) contrived specimens spiked with relevant B. parapertussis strains at different levels were also prepared. The analyte concentrations covered clinically relevant titers.

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 4 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 4 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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?

Specificity and sensitivity of the ARIES Bordetella Assay in patients suspected of having respiratory infection attributable to B. pertussis or B. parapertussis. (time frame: 5 months). 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 NCT02862262, 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.

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 4 Oct 2018.
