Trial summary

In patients with infectious pneumonitis, the FILMARRAY® Pneumonia Plus Panel technique (multiplex PCR) on a respiratory sample makes it possible to identify the responsible pathogen and its resistance to antibiotics in less than an hour and therefore to quickly adapt the anti- infectious.

About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Validity of a New Strategy for the Rapid Detection of Microorganisms and Their Resistance to Antibiotics Responsible for Pneumonia in Pediatric Intensive Care Units Using Protected Distal Samples

In patients with infectious pneumonitis, the FILMARRAY® Pneumonia Plus Panel technique (multiplex PCR) on a respiratory sample makes it possible to identify the responsible pathogen and its resistance to antibiotics in less than an hour and therefore to quickly adapt the anti- infectious. FILMARRAY® Pneumonia Plus has been validated on two types of specimens from adult intubated patients, tracheal aspirations and bronchoalveolar lavage. It has not been validated on protected distal samples which are nevertheless used in current practice. This project will study the diagnostic validity of this technique performed on this type of sample. If the validity is demonstrated, this will allow this technique to be used on the protected distal sample which is a reliable sample and used in the context of respiratory infections, in particular acquired under ventilation in children (bronchoalveolar lavage is less easy and little used in practice in children).

In patients with infectious pneumonitis, the FILMARRAY® Pneumonia Plus Panel technique (multiplex PCR) on a respiratory sample makes it possible to identify the responsible pathogen and its resistance to antibiotics in less than an hour and therefore to quickly adapt the anti- infectious. FILMARRAY® Pneumonia Plus has been validated on two types of specimens from adult intubated patients, tracheal aspirations and bronchoalveolar lavage. It has not been validated on protected distal samples which are nevertheless used in current practice. This project will study the diagnostic validity of this technique performed on this type of sample. If the validity is demonstrated, this will allow this technique to be used on the protected distal sample which is a reliable sample and used in the context of respiratory infections, in particular acquired under ventilation in children (bronchoalveolar lavage is less easy and little used in practice in children).

As a result, this will allow a faster etiological diagnosis and adapted antibiotic therapy, guaranteeing better efficacy and a fairer antibiotic prescription.

Currently no studies concerning the FILMARRAY® Pneumonia Plus Panel are ongoing or have been performed with the protected distal samples.

This study would be innovative and unique in looking at its feasibility and validity on a type of sample used in current practice.

In addition, the use of a PCR-based technique allows a rapid microbiological diagnosis of lower respiratory infections under invasive mechanical ventilation, compared to the reference technique requiring 48 to 72 hours to give a definitive result.

This much shorter period allows for an appropriate antibiotic therapy early in the treatment, and potentially a reduction in ventilation and hospitalization times.

In addition, it detects antibiotic resistance genes allowing rapid identification of multi-resistant bacteria (resistant Staphylococcus aureus meticillin, enterobacteria producing ESBLs or carbapenemases) and thus adapting antibiotic therapy.

Our study will assess its diagnostic validity for the identification of the microorganisms responsible for pneumonia in intensive care and their resistance to antibiotics.

What is being measured

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

  1. concordance between the results of the FILMARRAY® Pneumonia on a protected distal sample (new strategy) and those obtained by culture and antibiogram (classic diagnosis, reference method)

    Percentage of diagnostic agreement between the FilmArray result carried out on protected distal samples and the result of the reference method and description of the microorganisms most frequently found in cases of discrepancies.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To establish the percentage of invalid analyzes on this type of sample.

    Number of invalid analyzes out of the total number of analyzes performed on protected sample with the FilmArray.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Rate of true positives (agreement of positive results between new strategy and reference method)

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Rate of true negatives (agreement of negative results between new strategy and reference method).

    Measured: 24 months

  4. To establish the diagnostic time saving in real life use.

    Differential in final rendering time between the new strategy and the reference method.

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Number of diagnoses adjusted on the number of diagnoses sought in children whose sample was taken after antibiotic therapy.

    Number of diagnoses adjusted on the number of diagnoses sought in children whose sample was taken after antibiotic therapy.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Infections Pneumonia With Invasive Ventilation in PICU, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site 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 3 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 31 Jan 2022. 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 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 between the results of the FILMARRAY® Pneumonia on a protected distal sample (new strategy) and those obtained by culture and antibiogram (classic diagnosis, reference method) (time frame: 1 week). 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 NCT04773704, 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 31 Jan 2022.
