About this study

Official title: HTLV Blot 2.4 Post-Market Clinical Study of Neurological Disorders and HTLV Positive Specimens

This post-market study is intended to assess the performance of the HTLV Blot 2.4 in repository serum/plasma specimens with neurological disorders (n=100) or an HTLV known positive infection (n=50).

Read the detailed description

The HTLV Blot 2.4 Post-Market Clinical Study is an open-label, multi-center, single-blind clinical study of neurological disorders (n=100) and HTLV known-positive (KP) specimens (n=50). This study is being conducted to support additional labeling claims and to further assess the sensitivity and specificity of the HTLV Blot 2.4 in specimens with neurological disorders and HTLV known positive specimens.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing MP Diagnostics HTLV Blot 2.4 in people with HTLV-I Infections and HTLV-II Infections, run by MP Biomedicals, 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 21 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2018. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

To demonstrate ≥95% agreement of HTLV Blot 2.4 results with the Reference Core Laboratory HTLV Algorithm in 100 Neurological Disorder Specimens (time frame: 3 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03226119, 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 13 Sep 2018.
