About this study

Official title: Clinical Validation of the Point-of-Care MSD Influenza Test in Asia

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the MSD® Influenza Test in detecting influenza A and influenza B in subjects presenting with influenza-like-illness (ILI).

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective study to evaluate the performance of the MSD Influenza Test for the detection and differentiation of influenza A (including A/H1, A/H3, and A/H5 subtypes) and influenza B. Nasal swabs from subjects presenting at the clinical care facility with ILI will be collected and tested on the MSD Influenza Test. Results from the Test will be compared to results obtained from viral culture performed on a second nasal swab at a reference laboratory.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza, run by Meso Scale Diagnostics, LLC. at 4 sites in Vietnam.

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 2 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 21 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Vietnam. 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?

To determine the sensitivity and specificity of influenza A and B, and subtypes A/H1 and A/H3 with nasal and throat specimens for the MSD Influenza test as compared to cell culture and sequencing in a cross-section of the general population (time frame: 4 months). 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 21 Apr 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
