About this study

Official title: Resistell Phenotech AST to Determine the Antibiotic Susceptibility of Gram-negative Bacteria Causing Bacteremia: a Prospective, Non-interventional, Multi-centric, Clinical Performance Study

The aim of this study is to assess the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the Resistell Phenotech device in testing antibiotic susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria (i.e., E. coli or K. pneumoniae) to clinically relevant antibiotics. The study is designed as a prospective, non-interventional, multi-center, single-arm study.

The blood culture samples from bacteremia patients that are positive for E. coli or K. pneumoniae will be tested with the Resistell Phenotech device after strain identification by MALDI-TOF. The results of the Resistell AST will be compared with the results from the disk diffusion tests (all sites use the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test), and site dependent tests (VITEK® 2, BD Phoenix™, MicroScan WalkAway system, and/or EUCAST RAST), which are currently the standard AST methods in the microbiology laboratories at the participating sites.

What participants receive

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

  • Resistell PhenotechDiagnostic test

    Resistell Phenotech IVD device used to assess susceptibility of Gram negative bacteria to antibiotics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of the Resistell Phenotech vs Kirby-Bauer

    To assess the sensitivity of the Resistell Phenotech in detecting antibiotic susceptible bacteria in blood samples positive for E. coli or K. pneumoniae, compared to the gold standard Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Specificity and accuracy of the Resistell Phenotech vs Kirby-Bauer

    To assess the specificity and accuracy of the Resistell Phenotech in detecting antibiotic susceptible bacteria in blood samples positive for E. coli or K. pneumoniae, compared to the gold standard Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the Resistell Phenotech vs other comparators

    To assess the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the Resistell Phenotech in detecting antibiotic susceptible bacteria in blood samples positive for E. coli or K. pneumoniae, compared to other routine diagnostic AST tests run at each site

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Time to result of Resistell Phenotech vs Kirby-Bauer and other comparators

    To assess the difference between time to result (TTR) of Resistell Phenotech and the TTR of the Kirby-Bauer and the other routine diagnostic AST methods run at each site.

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Category agreement and discrepancies

    To assess category agreement (CA), very major discrepancy (VMD), major discrepancy (MD) of the results obtained with Resistell Phenotech compared to the Kirby-Bauer and the other routine diagnostic AST test results at each site

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bacteremia Sepsis, run by Resistell AG at 3 sites in 3 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Austria, Spain, Switzerland. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Statistical power for primary endpoint (sensitivity) for E. coli and K. pneumoniae and ceftriaxone was achieved). 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?

Sensitivity of the Resistell Phenotech vs Kirby-Bauer (time frame: 18 months). 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 NCT05613322, 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 26 Oct 2024.
