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 2 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Up to 750 subjects may be enrolled at a minimum of 3 study sites from geographically diverse locations across the US. Subjects will be approached based on symptoms upon presentation to the health care facility's ED. In addition to these subjects, data from 450 previously enrolled subjects will be used. All demographic groups will have access to enrollment because anyone with acute respiratory infection (ARI) will be approached. Foreign language speaking subjects may be enrolled following review and approval of the appropriate consent process and documents by the reviewing IRB.

Who may be able to join

  • Age 24 months or older
  • Acute respiratory illness of less than 28 days in duration.
  • Acute respiratory illness will be defined by at least two qualifying symptoms OR one qualifying symptom and at least 1 qualifying vital sign abnormality:
  • Qualifying symptoms:Headache, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, sneezing, sore throat, itchy or watery eyes, conjunctivitis, cough, shortness of breath, sputum production, chest pain, wheezing
  • Qualifying Vital Signs: Age greater than or equal to 2 and less than 6:Tachycardia (HR greater than or equal to 110), Tachynpnea (RR greater than or equal to 20),Temperature greater than or equal to 38.5 degrees Celsius or less than or equal to 36 degrees Celsius. Age greater than or equal to 6: Tachycardia(HR greater than or equal to 90), Tachynpnea (RR greater than or equal to 20), Temperature greater than or equal to 38.5 degrees Celsius or less than or equal to 36 degrees Celsius.
  • Ability of the subject or legally authorized representative/parent to understand study procedures, and willing and able to comply with all required.

Who cannot join

  • Known or suspected infection at any other anatomic site requiring antibacterial therapy.
  • Any specific condition that in the judgment of the referring provider or the site investigator precludes participation because it could affect subject safety or ability of subject to participate in this trial.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Rapid Diagnostic Test for the Categorization of Acute Respiratory Illness

The primary purpose of this study is to support the development of a host response test for acute respiratory illness to identify bacterial, viral or NB/NV etiologies as compared to a clinical adjudication reference standard.

Secondary objectives include:

  1. Evaluate the effect of age on the performance of the HR-ARI test
  2. Evaluate the effect of race/ethnicity on the performance of the HR-ARI test
  3. Evaluate the effect of geography on the performance of the HR-ARI test

The primary purpose of this study is to support the development of a host response test for acute respiratory illness to identify bacterial, viral or NB/NV etiologies as compared to a clinical adjudication reference standard.

Secondary objectives include:

  1. Evaluate the effect of age on the performance of the HR-ARI test
  2. Evaluate the effect of race/ethnicity on the performance of the HR-ARI test
  3. Evaluate the effect of geography on the performance of the HR-ARI test

Subjects will be identified in the Emergency Department of participating hospitals. Samples including nasopharyngeal swab, throat swab, blood, and urine will be obtained.

A case report form for each subject will be completed to include information regarding clinical characteristics, signs and symptoms of infection, presence of complications, and patient outcome. Baseline characteristics including preexisting conditions. Survival data will also be collected for each subject.

Samples collected will be used to characterize the patient's illness as either infectious or not, and if infectious, either bacterial or viral. Samples will also be used to measure changes in gene expression, referred to as the Host Response-Acute Respiratory Illness (HR-ARI) test.

The result of this test will be made in comparison to a retrospective review of the subject's clinical information. Results will not be used for any interventions and will not be released to subjects or their providers.

Because the study procedure includes only sample and data collection, the risks will be minimal and no different than encountered during routine clinical care.

The study was re-assessed in 2020 and applicable updates were made to the record.

What is being measured

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

  1. Positive predictive value with reference standard (PPV)

    Number of assay positives that agree with the reference standard / [Number of assay positives that agree with the reference standard + Number of assay positives that disagree with the reference standard]

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Negative predictive value with the reference standard (NPV)

    Number of assay negatives that agree with the reference standard / [number of assay negatives that agree with the reference standard + number of assay negatives that disagree with the reference standard]

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall agreement with the reference standard (OA)

    Number of samples that agree with the reference standard / all samples tested

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Tract Infection Acute and Transcriptome, run by Duke University at 10 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 6 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 27 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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?

Positive predictive value with reference standard (PPV) (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 May 2020.
