About this study

Official title: Evaluation of MDW for Early Detection of Sepsis In the Emergency Department

The purpose of this study is to confirm the clinical validity and the performance of the Monocyte Width Distribution (MDW) parameter to detect the development of sepsis in a prospective study of Emergency Department (ED) adults who have blood draw including Complete Blood Count with differential (CBC-DIFF) ordered upon presentation in a Spanish \& French hospital and to verify cut-off for Tri-potassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K3EDTA).

Read the detailed description

To confirm the clinical validity and performance of the Monocyte Width Distribution (MDW) parameter to detect the development of sepsis in a prospective study of ED adults who have blood draw including CBC with Differential ordered upon ED presentation. Septic patients are identified as those with values equal to or above the MDW threshold and non-septic patients are those with MDW values below the threshold. As the anticoagulant used at the sites is K3EDTA, the cut-off value will be assessed using sepsis cases and all corresponding non-sepsis to confirm optimal cut-off.

To explore the added value of this parameter in a patient diagnostic pathway that includes the use of procalcitonin (PCT) or C reactive protein (CRP) for the identification of septic patients All enrolled subjects will have PCT/ CRP assay performed per protocol Plasma will be aliquot and stored frozen for subsequent testing at Beckman Coulter for other sepsis biomarker tests (additional PCT\& CRP tests and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on the sponsor's devices

What participants receive

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

  • CBC-DIFF with MDW, PCT, CRPDiagnostic test

    Tests will be run to determine early identification of sepsis and added value of the combination of tests. Results will not be used to manage patients

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of sepsis based on Sepsis-2 criteria

    Determination of diagnostic accuracy based on Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves

    Measured: Within 4 hours of presentation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Identification of sepsis based on Sepsis-3 criteria

    Determination of diagnostic accuracy based on Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves

    Measured: Within 4 hours of presentation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Infection and Sepsis, run by Beckman Coulter, Inc. at 2 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 7 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 22 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France, Spain. 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?

Identification of sepsis based on Sepsis-2 criteria (time frame: Within 4 hours of presentation). 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 NCT03588325, 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 22 Nov 2019.
