About this study

Official title: CLINICAL STUDY PROTOCOL for the Prospective Evaluation of the fluID Rapid Influenza Test

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the fluID Rapid Influenza Test's ability in detecting influenza A and influenza B from individuals presenting with signs and symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI).

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the fluID Rapid Influenza Test in detecting influenza A and influenza B, as evaluated with respect to fresh samples collected prospectively from individuals presenting with signs and symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI). Test results will be compared with those obtained from viral culture testing of samples using the same specimen types, obtained from the same subjects. The specimen types under evaluation in this study will be nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, nasal wash and aspirate specimens.

A secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the fluID Rapid Influenza Test in detecting each of the H1 and H3 subtypes of influenza A, in nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, nasal wash and aspirate specimens.

What participants receive

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

  • fluID Rapid Influenza TestDevice

    The fluID™ Rapid Influenza Test is an in vitro diagnostic assay designed to be used with a reader for the qualitative detection of influenza type A and type B nucleoprotein antigens, and the differentiation of influenza type A subtypes A/H1 and A/H3 antigens associated with the seasonal influenza H1N1 and H3N2, in nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal swabs and nasal wash/aspirate specimens. The test is intended as an aid in the rapid, qualitative diagnosis of influenza type A and type B viral infections in patients symptomatic with influenza-like illness. The fluID™ Rapid Influenza Test is intended for use by a healthcare professional in a laboratory or Point-of-Care (POC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing fluID Rapid Influenza Test in people with Influenza, run by Nanogen, Inc. at 13 sites in 2 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 12 inclusion and 6 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Hong Kong. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

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 and specificity of influenza A and influenza B (time frame: End of study). 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 15 Apr 2009.
