Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients receive abdominal surgery including pancreatic, gastrointestinal, biliary surgery, etc. with routinely placing abdominal drainage in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. They are clinically suspected with postoperative abdominal infection.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who receive abdominal operations with routinely abdominal drainage placement.
  • Abdominal infection is suspected by the clinicians, and one of the following conditions is met:
  • Temperature ≥38℃;
  • One of the following laboratory indicators: WBC≥10×10^9/L, PCT≥0.5ng/ml, hsCRP≥100mg/L.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are diagnosed with the abdominal infection before surgery.
  • Evidence of non-abdominal infection is clear and could explain the clinical symptoms.

About this study

Official title: Establishment and Research for Rapid Diagnosis of Postoperative Abdominal Infection Based on Metagenomic Sequencing

This is a prospective and exploratory study, which utilizes non-targeted metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) detecting drain fluid from patients who are suspected of postoperative abdominal infection. This study aims to explore the clinical value of mNGS in the rapid diagnosis of postoperative abdominal infection, to refine the pathogenic bacteria spectrum, and to establish a novel procedure for postoperative abdominal infection diagnosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Infection and Abdominal Surgery, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The pathogenic spectrum of postoperative abdominal infection (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT05187871, 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 15 Sep 2022.
