About this study

Official title: Urinary Tract Infection: RapID Molecular Organism Identification and Mixed Flora Antibiotic Resistance Profiling (MixAR)

In this protocol, investigators are examining the ability for a novel multiplex PCR assay with mixed floral antibiotic resistance profiling is safe and increases effective treatment for urinary tract infections in a urology clinic over traditional culture methods alone and decreases retreatment rates in this population.

Read the detailed description

The novel multiplex real-time PCR assay with mixed floral antibiotic resistance profiling offers a higher degree of sensitivity and specificity than conventional culture methods in the identification of UTI pathogens as determined by the previous prospective comparison study. Additionally, conventional methods are often inadequate in the case of polymicrobial infections. More accurate and timely pathogen identification allows for prompt and more targeted treatment with less reliance on empiric therapy and decreased rates of antibiotic therapy changes and retreatment. This leads to more favorable patient outcomes and decreases the development of resistant organisms.

What participants receive

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

  • Guidance 4.0 PCR testDiagnostic test

    All patients will have a urine culture and Guidance 4.0 PCR test run on their urine, but physicians will receive one or the other, or both depending on the treatment arm.

  • Urine CultureDiagnostic test

    All patients will have a urine culture and Guidance 4.0 PCR test run on their urine, but physicians will receive one or the other, or both depending on the treatment arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Establish Safety: composite adverse event rate

    Demonstrate safety of Guidance 4.0 multiplex real-time PCR organism identification with mixed floral antibiotic resistance profiling guided treatment. Safety will be measured with a composite adverse event outcome of urosepsis, pyelonephritis, hospitalization, or the need to attend an urgent care center. The composite adverse event rate in the arm tested with Guidance 4.0 will be shown to be non-inferior to that in the arm tested with traditional urine culture. Superiority will also be tested.

    Measured: 7 Days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Patients with Recurrent and Persistent Infections in Each Arm

    Demonstrate non-inferiority and possibly superiority of Guidance 4.0 over traditional urine C\&S with respect to the percentage of recurrent and persistent infections. Persistent is remaining infection at day 7 and recurrent infection is a person that had a second infection within 30 days that was treated with antibiotics.

    Measured: 7 Days

  2. Time to Symptom Resolution in Each Arm

    Demonstrate superiority of Guidance 4.0 over traditional urine C\&S with respect to the time to symptom resolution as demonstrated by UTISA tool. Symptom resolution will be defined as an overall rating of no symptoms on the UTISA questionnaire.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Guidance 4.0 PCR test and Urine Culture in people with Urinary Tract Infections and Prostatitis, run by Pathnostics at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 28 Aug 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Establish Safety: composite adverse event rate (time frame: 7 Days). 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 28 Aug 2023.
