About this study

Official title: Validation of the Molecular Diagnosis of Respiratory Viral Infections on the Sputum of Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

The main objective of this project is to evaluate the agreement between nasopharyngeal and sputum specimens in terms of detection of viral infection in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) participants.This is a 12-month national, multicenter prospective study (7 centers). Inclusions concern CF participants (children or adults) with signs of acute respiratory infection seen in consultation or hospitalized in their CF Research Center. A molecular viral multiplex search is performed on both nasopharyngeal and expectoration collected samples for each included participant. Determination of viral detection agreement between the two CF respiratory samples is then performed.

Read the detailed description

Viral respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) have a significant impact on the progression of the disease. It is therefore essential to look for these viruses. No recommendations are made for the virological follow-up of CF patients and no optimal strategy for the type of sampling required. In non-CF patients, the search for a viral infection is performed by nasopharyngeal sampling. This method of sampling is invasive and uncomfortable for the patient. In CF patients, sputum, non-invasive sampling, is routinely used for bacterial research and may be used for viral infections to avoid invasive nasopharyngeal sampling in patients whose management is heavy.

After giving consent, both sputum and nasopharyngeal swab are collected for each participant. A record of clinical and biological data is also made at inclusion. A molecular viral search is performed on both samples by a multiplex technique detecting a broad spectrum of respiratory viruses. A bacteriological analysis is carried out on sputum. The molecular results will be interpreted blindly according to the main criterion of evaluation, presence or absence of viral infection.

Comparison of expectoration to nasopharyngeal sampling of CF patients for respiratory virological diagnosis should analyse agreement of the molecular viral detection and position CF sputum as an optimal assay for respiratory viruses with the advantage of not being invasive and in all cases routinely taken for the control and bacterial follow-up.

The promotion of sputum as an ad hoc sampling for viral research and epidemiology would facilitate the establishment of surveillance for viral infections in cystic fibrosis and thereby contribute to the CF register data.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concordance of viral type detected in both samples for each participant: sputum and nasopharyngeal swab

    Comparison of per participant results of viral molecular detection in both sputum and nasapharyngeal samples: 18 different types of respiratory viruses may be qualitatively detected by Molecular analyses (multiplex PCR) the Outcome Measure results will be reported as number of participants with same virus type in both sample - number participant with different virus detected in the two samples - number of participants with no virus detected in both samples - number of participants with one virus detected in nasapharyngeal and no virus in sputum - number of participant with no virus detected in nasopharyngeal and one virus detected in sputum - and so on for every possible combinations

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis and Acute Respiratory Infection, run by University Hospital, Brest at 11 sites in France.

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 2 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 18 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in France. 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?

Concordance of viral type detected in both samples for each participant: sputum and nasopharyngeal swab (time frame: Day 1). 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 Jan 2023.
