About this study

Official title: LIAISON NES Flu A/B & COVID-19 Clinical Agreement in Australia

The DiaSorin Molecular LIAISON® NES FLU A/B \& COVID-19 real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay is intended for use on the DiaSorin LIAISON® NES instrument for the in-vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of nucleic acid from influenza A, influenza B and SARS-CoV-2 virus from dry nasal swabs (NS) from human patients with signs and symptoms during the acute phase of respiratory tract infection in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors.

The LIAISON® NES FLU A/B \& COVID-19 assay is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of influenza A, influenza B and SARS-CoV-2 infection in a professional laboratory setting.

Negative results do not preclude influenza A, influenza B, or SARS-CoV-2, infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. The assay is not intended to detect the presence of the influenza C virus.

What participants receive

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

  • LIAISON NES FLU A/B & COVID-19Diagnostic test

    The LIAISON® NES FLU A/B \& COVID-19 assay used on the LIAISON® NES instrument is a real-time PCR system that enables the direct amplification, detection and differentiation of Flu A viral RNA, Flu B viral RNA and SARS-CoV-2 RNA from dry nasal swabs. Nasal Swabs can be professionally collected by a Healthcare Provider or self-collected by the patient under the supervision of the healthcare provider. The collected nasal swab can then be directly loaded into the cartridge without nucleic acid extraction.

Study groups in NCT05897515
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Blinded, Prospective ArmOtherClinical specimens shall be collected prospectively from patients with signs or symptoms of respiratory tract infection. Nasal swab in Copan universal transport media (UTM) 3 milliliters for comparator testing should be collected by a healthcare professional. Where subjects are willing and able, up to 40% of nasal swab for the investigational device will be self-collected under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare professional. Nasopharyngeal (NPS) specimens (optional) should only be collected by a healthcare professional. All specimens collected from children 13 years or younger should only be collected by a trained healthcare professional. Follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for collecting NPS swabs, unless otherwise specified by the sponsor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy

    Estimates of Sensitivity/percent positive agreement (PPA) and Specificity/percent negative agreement (NPA) will be calculated based on a two-by-two table (comparator method result vs. result from LIAISON® NES FLU A/B, RSV \& COVID-19 assay or LIAISON PLEX® RSP Flex assay) for each target. In addition, 95% two-sided confidence intervals will be provided. A separate Sensitivity/PPA and Specificity/NPA for each target, to include those specimens excluded due to a discrepancy between the standard-of-care and molecular comparator result, will be presented in a separate 2 x 2 table.

    Measured: Samples will be tested on LIAISON NES within one hour of collection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LIAISON NES FLU A/B & COVID-19 in people with Influenza A and Influenza Type B, run by DiaSorin Molecular LLC at 1 site in Australia.

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 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 30 Apr 2024. 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 Australia. 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?

Diagnostic accuracy (time frame: Samples will be tested on LIAISON NES within one hour of collection.). 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 30 Apr 2024.
