About this study

Official title: VENUS: Validation of Septic Gene ExpressioN Using SeptiCyte®

The investigators seek to evaluate a new test for determining presence of infection/sepsis as compared to non-infection/systemic inflammatory response syndrome among critically ill patients within the first 24 hours of their being hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU) within the first 7 days of hospitalization. The primary purpose of the study is to validate SeptiCyte® Lab in this population as compared to: 1) the doctor's impression and 2) existing clinical parameters. The investigators also hope to assess how well a related, new blood test, SeptID® identifies different types of infection, as compared to cultures and other lab tests.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), run by Immunexpress at 6 sites 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 6 inclusion and 9 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 20 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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 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?

SeptiCyte® Lab score (time frame: Subjects will be followed for the duration of their hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days.). 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 NCT02127502, which also lists 2 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 20 Aug 2018.
