Clinical Trials in Italy / NCT07303400
Active, not recruiting
Observational
Assessment of the Effectiveness of a Prototype Diagnostic System of Bacterial Respiratory Infections Based on Real-time Sequencing
NCT07303400 · tracked via the Priya Life Science Italy tracker
Condition(s) studied
Lower Resp Tract Infection
Study summary
The objective of this project is to test the efficiency of a novel developed protocol for direct real-time metagenomic sequencing of Lower Respiratory Infection samples. The investigators aim to assess the anticipation time, compared to the traditional culturing methods and the accuracy, compared to gold standards
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent prior to performing the study procedures
2. Patients older than 18 years of age
3. Suspected bacterial Lower Respiratory Infection (LRI)
4. 500µL of lower respiratory tract sample (e.g. Bronchoalveolar lavage) are available after the routine diagnostic procedures are over
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Low amount of leftover specimen
2. Complex diagnosis: clinicians could require further analysis after the first diagnosis is produced
3. A sample of the same patient has been already included in the study
Primary outcome measure(s)
- test positivity — Baseline
assess the effectiveness in detection of positive (Gram+ vs Gram- vs mixed culture samples) vs negative samples - species identification — Baseline
Assess the effectiveness in recognizing the correct bacterial species
