Trial summary

Pneumonia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of pneumonia from the microbiology perspective has been challenging. Recent reports suggest the utility of nuclear acid detection for rapid and accurate diagnoses of these pathogens and their antibiotic-resistant spectrum. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Identification of Bacterial Species and Their Antibiotic-Resistant Spectrum in Sputum Specimen From the Patients With Pneumonia Via Nuclear Acid Detection Assay

Pneumonia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of pneumonia from the microbiology perspective has been challenging. Recent reports suggest the utility of nuclear acid detection for rapid and accurate diagnoses of these pathogens and their antibiotic-resistant spectrum. Extracted bacterial nucleic acid in sputum specimen will be identified by Nuclear acid detection assay kit with Microfluidic Pumping Chip and LAMP methods

Read the detailed description

Sputum specimens normally collected from the patients with pneumonia for routine microbiologic testing and extra specimens will be evaluated via nuclear acid assay developed in our laboratory. The assay will be directed at variety of both pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Hemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Legionella pneumophila, and common antibiotic-resistant genes, such as ESBLs genes, MecA, OprD. The ultimate goal is to have an available panel of highly accurate and rapid (same day) assay, which will be carried out in several hours for identification.

The extracted pathogen nucleic acid in sputum specimen will be identified by Nuclear acid detection assay with Microfluidic Pumping Chip and LAMP methods. The species of bacteria and their antibiotic-resistant gene to be detected are as listed above. As nucleic acid extracts will be archived, other pathogens can be investigated in the future if the correlated assay is developed. All results obtained by nuclear acid detection will be compared to results for conventional testing as listed above. Sensitivity, specificity and predictive values will be calculated. In cases where discordant results occur, additional testing and or medical history review will be properly conducted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumonia, run by Peking University People's Hospital.

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 1 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 24 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00567827, 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 24 Jun 2010.
