About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation To Determine The Expected Values Distribution Of Procalcitonin For The RAMP® Procalcitonin Test In A Healthy Reference Population (PRO-H)

Prospective, single-centre study in healthy volunteers to establish a reference range for the RAMP Procalcitonin (PCT) test. The primary objective of this study is to establish the reference range for measurement of PCT levels using the RAMP Procalcitonin test.

Read the detailed description

Healthy volunteers who meet eligibility criteria and have provided informed consent will be enrolled in this study. Each participant will be required to donate 1 blood sample via standard venipuncture into an EDTA (lavender top) tube for testing on one occasion. The maximum trial duration for each participant is one visit/occasion. Sample collection will take place within a single clinical session. The maximum trial duration for each participant is one clinic session.

What is being measured

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

  1. Procalcitonin value for healthy reference subjects

    Procalcitonin value for each subject will be determined within 2 hours of phlebotomy. At study completion all data obtained will be compiled and a 95th percentile value determined.

    Measured: Subjects will be followed for duration of one blood draw from one visit only; study enrollment will occur over 21 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by Response Biomedical Corp. at 1 site in Canada.

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 10 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 16 Nov 2015. 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 Canada. 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?

Procalcitonin value for healthy reference subjects (time frame: Subjects will be followed for duration of one blood draw from one visit only; study enrollment will occur over 21 days.). 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 Nov 2015.
