About this study

Official title: Projected Influence of Enhanced Pathogen Detection on the Clinical Management of Community-Acquired Pneumonia

Study to compare the number of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) pathogens detected using current diagnostic tests to the number detected using the BioFire Diagnostics investigational polymerase chain reaction (PCR) platform.

Read the detailed description

Patients diagnosed in the emergency department with CAP that requires hospitalization provide a sputum sample for culture and sensitivity testing, urine for detection of S. pneumonia and L. pneumophila, an anterior nasal swab for S. aureus PCR, a nasopharyngeal swab for S. pneumonia PCR and the FilmArray LRTI v.2.0 IUO Panel, and blood for procalcitonin testing and, in cases in which the patient is suffering rigors and hypotension, cultures. As part of this study, sputum or sputum equivalent will be acquired for testing using the FilmArray LRTI v.2.0 IUO Panel.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathogen Detection

    Compare the number of CAP pathogens detected using current diagnostic bundle to the number detected using the FilmArray LRTI v.2.0 IUO Panel.

    Measured: 5 Days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Treatment Influence

    Determine the number of cases in which the FilmArray LRTI v.2.0 IUO Panel could allow for a switch from empiric to specific antimicrobial therapy if the results had been known by the healthcare provider.

    Measured: 5 Days

  2. Nasopharyngeal swabs compared to sputum

    Compare the number of pathogens detected using an approved PCR panel using nasopharyngeal swabs to the number detected using the FilmArray LRTI v.2.0 IUO Panel.

    Measured: 5 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FilmArray LRTI v.2.0 IUO Panel in people with Community Acquired Pneumonia, run by Providence Health & Services 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2022. 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 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?

Pathogen Detection (time frame: 5 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 25 May 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
