About this study

To develop a real-time diagnostic technique with Virosensor for Enterovirus 71 and Influenza Virus detection, the investigators conduct a prospective clinical study. In comparison with results from direct sequencing of Enterovirus 71 and Influenza Virus, the investigators evaluate the performance of virosensor , including reproducibility, sensitivity, specificity, and cross-reaction. The potential factors which may interfere with the results would be investigated. With such technique, the investigators hope to make early diagnosis and give Enterovirus 71 and Influenza Virus patients early treatment to reduce the complications and case-fatality rate.

Read the detailed description
  1. Sample acquirement: At National Taiwan University Hospital in Taiwan, we will enroll patients who have influenza-like illness or enterovirus infection . We will take three throat swabs for each patient: one for viral isolation, one for RT-PCR and the last for the Virosensor - based real-time diagnosis.
  2. Virosensor diagnosis: Virosensor (structural chip-based optosensing virus probing system), which is for the rapid and sensitive detection of viral antigen in medical samples, will be used for analyzing the interaction kinetics between anti-influenza-virus (or anti-Enterovirus 71-virus) and its influenza virus antigen (or Enterovirus 71 antigen) present in patients'and normal samples.
  3. Gold standard: viral isolation and RT-PCR

What participants receive

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

  • virosensorDevice

    virosensor, which was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of viral antigen in medical samples, will be used for analyzing the interaction kinetics between anti-influenza-virus (or anti-EV71-virus) and its influenza virus antigen (or EV71 antigen) present in patients and normal samples.

    The system incorporates the use of chip formats. In antibody probing, antibodies are bound as a suitable probe, which specifically and selectively binds targeted molecules (virus antigen) in the test specimens.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Influenza virus or Enterovirus 71 detection

    In comparison with results from viral isolation and RT-PCR of influenza virus or Enterovirus 71 , we evaluate the performance of virosensor, including sensitivity, specificity, cross-reaction and reproducibility.

    Measured: 1 Day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing virosensor in people with Enterovirus 71 and Influenza Virus, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2013. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shiming Lin, PhD (886-2-23123456 ext. 88458, til@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Influenza virus or Enterovirus 71 detection (time frame: 1 Day). 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 16 Dec 2013.
