Trial summary

A SpetiFast multiplex PCR kit has recently been placed on the market witch can evidence the DNA of 90% of micro-organisms (bacteria and fungus) implicated in sepsis. However, the clinical impact of being able to detect the DNA of these various agents is unknown. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Benefit of Septifast Multiplex PCR in the Etiologic Diagnosis and Therapeutic Approach for Onco-hematology Patients Presenting Sepsis

A SpetiFast multiplex PCR kit has recently been placed on the market witch can evidence the DNA of 90% of micro-organisms (bacteria and fungus) implicated in sepsis. However, the clinical impact of being able to detect the DNA of these various agents is unknown. We propose to assess the benefit to patient care of the SeptiFast multiples PCR by answering three questions : 1/in patients with septic immunosuppression, does this kit evidence etiologic agents not revealed by classical methods? 2/Does the use of PCR results permit different diagnostic hypotheses to be considered? 3/Does having the SeptiFast results entail changes to the therapeutic plan?

Read the detailed description

This study has double purpose :

  1. To compare the results obtained from the SeptiFast system with the results from classical microbiological sampling, in particular hemoculture, for immunosuppressed patients presenting sepsis.
  2. To perform a blind assessment of the benefit of septiFast care of these patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematologic Diseases and Sepsis, run by University Hospital, Grenoble 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 18 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 9 Jul 2010. 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.

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 9 Jul 2010.
