What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of HCV RNA detection with PoC assay (Genedrive, Epistem) vs reference standard of commercial real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay (RealTime HCV, Abbott).

    Assess the diagnostic accuracy of the PoC assay (Genedrive, Epistem) to detect HCV RNA against the reference standard of commercial real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay (RealTime HCV, Abbott) using stored heparinized plasma from patients with chronic hepatitis C and non-infected controls (with Genedrive channel acceptance set at 2 out of 3).

    Measured: pre-treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Diagnostic algorithm optimization

    To optimize the diagnostic algorithm (i.e., 1, 2, or 3 out of 3 channels; repeat testing or not) that gives the optimal balance between sensitivity and specificity for detection of HCV RNA.

    Measured: Pre-treatment

  2. Factors associated with false-positive of false-negative results

    To identify factors associated with false-positive or false-negative results of the PoC assay.

    Measured: Pre-treatment

  3. Assess the inter-examiner reproducibility of the PoC assay.

    Measured: Pre-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis C, run by ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases.

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 10 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 14 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Accuracy of HCV RNA detection with PoC assay (Genedrive, Epistem) vs reference standard of commercial real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay (RealTime HCV, Abbott). (time frame: pre-treatment). 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 NCT02992184, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Dec 2016.
