About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Clinical Performance of the ARROW-FLU System for the Detection of Influenza A and B in Symptomatic Patients

The ARROW-FLU Influenza A\&B Test is an in vitro diagnostic immuno-chromatographic assay intended for the qualitative detection of influenza A and influenza B viral nucleoprotein antigens from nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimens in symptomatic patients. It is intended to aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of influenza A and/or B viral infections. This test is not intended for the detection of influenza C viruses. A negative test is presumptive and it is recommended these results be confirmed by cell culture of an FDA cleared molecular device. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other management decisions.

Read the detailed description

This multicenter prospective study will include nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs collected from patients who present with flu-like symptoms and have undergone routine testing for influenza virus strain types A or B. The ARROW-FLU Influenza A\&B Test System qualitative results will be compared to a reference method for identification of Influenza A or B to determine the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the device.

The ARROW-FLU Influenza A\&B Test system will be performed at CLIA-waived and non-CLIA waived clinical sites. Device operators at CLIA-waived sites will be untrained intended users (e.g. nurses, physician assistants, medical assistants, etc).

A subject's participation in this study will consist of a single visit. Following completion of the informed consent process and a review of Inclusion/Exclusion criteria to determine eligibility, each subject will receive a unique study identification number. After standard of care sampling, two (2) nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs will be obtained from each subject enrolled in the study. The swabs will be collected from the same nostril and alternated in their order of designation for testing (i.e. one for ARROW-FLU Influenza System testing and the other for reference testing. Any swab specimens required for standard of care testing will be collected prior to the specimens for this investigation. Investigational device operators will be blinded to standard of care testing results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Performance of the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test

    The primary objective of this study is the characterization of the performance of the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test to detect influenza virus strain type A or type B in symptomatic subjects. Qualitative results obtained using the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test will be compared to a reference method or "Gold Standard" (viral culture and/or an FDA cleared molecular assay). Performance data generated will support a 510k submission to FDA for clearance of the assay.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 5 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Ability of untrained intended users to effectively perform the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test

    The secondary objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability of untrained intended users to effectively perform the ARROW-FLU Influenza A\&B Test with insignificant risk of erroneous results. Qualitative results obtained using the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test System will be compared to the reference method for confirmation of results on specimens collected during this study.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Flu Symptoms in people with Influenza, Human, run by Sekisui Diagnostics, LLC at 14 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 7 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Steven Grossman (781-652-7828, steven.grossman@sekisuidiagnostics.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Performance of the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 5 months). 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 19 Dec 2016.
