Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Only residual NPS specimens from patients with clinician-ordered respiratory pathogen testing will be enrolled.

Who may be able to join

  • Specimen is residual NPS in VTM left over from standard of care testing under clinician order for respiratory pathogen analysis
  • Specimen has been held at appropriate temperature
  • Sufficient volume remaining after standard of care testing and available for use in the study

Who cannot join

  • Specimen other than NPS in VTM (e.g. nasopharyngeal aspirate, anterior or midturbinate swab, oropharyngeal swab, NPS collected in medium other than VTM)
  • Specimen cannot be tested within the defined storage parameters
  • Insufficient specimen volume for testing

About this study

Official title: Prospective Clinical Evaluation of the FilmArray Respiratory Panel 2 (RP2)

This is a performance study to test the sensitivity and specificity of the BioFire FilmArray Respiratory Panel (RP) 2. The purpose of this study is to prospectively collect and test residual NPS specimens and generate performance data to support regulatory classification of the FilmArray RP2 as an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) in the US, European Union (EU), Canada, and other regions.

Read the detailed description

The FilmArray Respiratory Panel 2 (RP2) is an automated sample-to-answer PCR-based diagnostic for the identification of common upper respiratory viral and bacterial pathogens in nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens collected in viral transport media (VTM). The purpose of this study is to prospectively collect and test residual NPS specimens and generate performance data to support regulatory classification of the FilmArray RP2 as an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) in the US, European Union (EU), Canada, and other regions.

Clinical performance evaluations will be initiated at sites in the US and/or EU during the 2016/2017 respiratory illness season, approximately September through December.Prior to performing the prospective clinical evaluation, each participating site will have the necessary Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviews (or equivalent for non-U.S. sites).

Specimens for inclusion in this study will be residual, de-identified NPS collected in VTM leftover from clinician-ordered respiratory pathogen testing.

Comparator testing will be performed using de-identified specimen aliquots at a central reference laboratory.

This study is funded by BioFire Diagnostics, LLC. The FilmArray device conforms to the requirements of the European Union In Vitro Diagnostic Directive (IVDD). This study was designed such that every precaution has been taken to protect the health and safety of patients, users, and other persons.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Upper Resp Tract Infection, run by BioFire Diagnostics, LLC at 3 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 12 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

sensitivity and specificity of device (time frame: 3 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 12 Jan 2017.
