Trial summary

Background: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a procedure where a tube is passed through the mouth or nose into the lungs. Fluid is squirted through the tube into a part of the lung and then collected for examination. It is used to detect respiratory viruses. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Detection of Respiratory Viruses in Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Specimens Using a Rapid Multiplex PCR

Background:

  • Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a procedure where a tube is passed through the mouth or nose into the lungs. Fluid is squirted through the tube into a part of the lung and then collected for examination. It is used to detect respiratory viruses. BAL is a relatively invasive procedure, and researchers want to test the accuracy of other procedures that do not involve collecting fluid from the lungs. The nasopharynx is the area of the upper throat that lies behind the nose. Researchers want to see if a swab taken from this area is as accurate as a BAL sample.

Objectives:

  • To see if a nasopharynx swab can be used to detect respiratory viruses as well as BAL samples.

Eligibility:

  • Individuals at least 12 years of age who will have a bronchoscopy to collect a BAL sample to test for respiratory viruses.

Design:

  • Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history.
  • Participants will have a BAL sample collected.
  • Participants will then have a nasopharynx swab. The swab will be inserted into the nose, left in place for up to 10 seconds, and then removed
Read the detailed description

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens can be used for the detection of respiratory viruses. Although bronchoscopy is relatively safe, it still has inherent risks to the subject. Nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens are easy to collect and are minimally invasive for the subject. We will use a rapid multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect respiratory viruses in paired BAL and NP specimens to determine if either specimen is more likely to be positive. The study population will include all patients undergoing bronchoscopy for clinical indications at the Clinical Center. This is a prospective observational study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Viruses, run by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2018. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early. 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?

The presence or absence of one or more of the 15 respiratory viruses in upper or lower respiratory tract samples using the FilmArray assay. (time frame: Within 30 days after collection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01597089, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 3 May 2018.
