Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to develop a new and very rapid diagnostic test for identifying a certain type of bacteria called Enterobacteriaceae in blood. Rapid identification of bacteria will assist in decreasing the use of antibiotics and help more patients survive bacterial infections of the blood. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to develop a new and very rapid diagnostic test for identifying a certain type of bacteria called Enterobacteriaceae in blood. Rapid identification of bacteria will assist in decreasing the use of antibiotics and help more patients survive bacterial infections of the blood.

Read the detailed description

It is our overall goal to develop a new diagnostic technology that will facilitate antibacterial stewardship to reduce selective pressure and improve patient outcomes. The Institute of Medicine has identified antibiotic resistance as one of the key microbial threats to health in the United States and has prioritized decreasing inappropriate use of antimicrobials as the primary solution to address this threat. The emergence of carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in the United States represents a recent and severe byproduct of excessive antimicrobial use with a high mortality rate in bacteremia. A major barrier toward decreasing use of antimicrobials is lack of sensitive and accurate rapid diagnostic tests for identifying bacterial etiologies of infection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bacteremia and Enterobacteriaceae Infections, run by Denver Health and Hospital Authority at 2 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 29 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Bacteria identification (time frame: 3 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Mar 2022.
