Trial summary

The measurement of monocyte volume width distribution (MDW) is intended for use with adult patients presenting to the emergency department (ED), where a CBC with Differential has been ordered, as an aid in the early detection of patients with or developing sepsis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Monocyte Volume Width Distribution (MDW) for Early Detection of Sepsis or Developing Sepsis on the UniCell DxH800 Hematology Analyzer

The measurement of monocyte volume width distribution (MDW) is intended for use with adult patients presenting to the emergency department (ED), where a CBC with Differential has been ordered, as an aid in the early detection of patients with or developing sepsis. The study will establish the clinical performance of MDW for detection of sepsis in the ED.

Read the detailed description

A prospective multi-center study to establish the clinical utility of the measurement of monocyte volume width distribution, a cell population parameter of the CBC-Differential, on the Beckman Coulter Unicel DxH analyzers. The study will validate the cut-off for the early detection of sepsis in an adult emergency room population where the standard of care included a CBC with Differential and will evaluate the diagnostic performance of the parameter.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CBC-Diff Monocyte volume width distribution (MDW)Diagnostic test

    MDW measurement used to detect sepsis. Results will not be used to manage patients

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of sepsis vs. non-sepsis, including SIRS and infection (non-SIRS) by adjudication based on the 2001 SCCM sepsis definition (sepsis-2)

    Determination of the diagnostic accuracy, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve

    Measured: 12 hours after presentation to the ED

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Severe Infection, run by Beckman Coulter, Inc. 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 22 Nov 2019. 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?

Identification of sepsis vs. non-sepsis, including SIRS and infection (non-SIRS) by adjudication based on the 2001 SCCM sepsis definition (sepsis-2) (time frame: 12 hours after presentation to the ED). 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 NCT03145428, 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 22 Nov 2019.
