About this study

Official title: Defining Use and Misuse of BIoMarkers Dosage and Trends in Observed Concentration Over Time: a BIg Data Analysis

The investigators conducted a retrospective analysis of all measured concentrations performed in a large subset of laboratories located in the French Brittany from February 2010 the 17th to August 2015 the 30th, in adults over 20 years old.

The investigators are aimed at studying physicians' use and eventually misuse of biomarkers dosage and the characteristics of a broad population based on some biomarkers concentrations.

Read the detailed description

The rUBIDIuM study is a retrospective analysis that included all tests (but not including DNA analysis or HIV tests) performed in a large subset of laboratories located in the French Brittany from February 2010 the 17th to August 2015 the 30th. The area of study covers most of the Ille-et-Vilaine and a part of the Côtes d'Armor department in Brittany. The respective surface of these departments is 6775 and 6878 km2. All labs belong to the Biorance Laboratory group (consortium of 33 labs, Biorance Laboratoires Réunis) and are equipped with Roche Diagnostics instruments (Elecsys2010® analyzer, Roche diagnostics, Meylan, France).

The main objectives are to study physicians' use and eventually misuse of biomarkers dosage and the characteristics of this broad population based on some biomarkers concentrations.

For all adult patients >20y that came to a participating lab during the study period, the investigators collected the following information: demographics data, data about the prescription (date of order, list of analysis recommended, the date of blood collection and analysis), about the prescribers and the results of the analyses. After a de-identifying process, data were aggregated.

the initial analyses will 1) examine the biological tests (number, types…) ordered in a large cohort of patients, in the total population and the subgroups based on gender, age, time period, kind of lab and physicians' specialty, 2) examine the results/concentration of the analyses: blood chemistry, creatinin concentration, cardiac enzymes, natriuretic peptides, INR, lipid profile, hemogram…

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Biological Markers and Inappropriate Prescribing, run by Hospital Avicenne at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

biomarker dosage prescription (time frame: August 2017). 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 22 Aug 2017.
