Next Generation Sequencing Detection of Lyme Disease
An observational study of Lyme Disease and Pediatric Infectious Disease, run by Stony Brook University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Next Generation Sequencing is capable of sequencing millions of small strands of DNA from a single blood sample, potentially improving its sensitivity compared to PCR testing, which only detects predetermined larger strands of DNA. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Next Generation Sequencing to Detect Borrelia Burgdorferi DNA in the Blood of Pediatric Patients With Lyme Disease
Next Generation Sequencing is capable of sequencing millions of small strands of DNA from a single blood sample, potentially improving its sensitivity compared to PCR testing, which only detects predetermined larger strands of DNA. We will test the ability of NGS to detect Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in the blood of pediatric patients with Lyme disease. We will conduct an observational study of NGS testing on pediatric patients at all stages of Lyme disease. Study involvement will require a single study visit for clinical data collection and blood draw. We will enroll patients at all phases of suspected Lyme disease, collect clinically relevant information, and test for Lyme disease using Next Generation Sequencing and standard Lyme serologic testing. If the patient has multiple erythema migrans, Lyme meningitis, facial nerve palsy, arthritis, or carditis, a B. burgdorferi serum PCR will also be sent. Enrollment and Next Generation Sequencing blood draw will occur before or up to 24 hours after the first dose of antibiotics is administered. We will also study the impact of antibiotics on NGS testing by running the test 6-24 hours after antibiotics are started among a small subset of patients with a multiple erythema migrans rash. Collected data will be analyzed with basic descriptive statistics.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ability of Next Generation Sequencing to detect Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in blood
To determine if Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is able to detect Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in the blood of pediatric patients with Lyme disease, including those with erythema migrans (single or multiple), Lyme meningitis, Lyme carditis, Lyme disease facial palsy, and Lyme arthritis
Measured: 1 year
NGS detection of Borrelia burgdorferi DNA following antibiotics

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Lyme Disease and Pediatric Infectious Disease, run by Stony Brook University at 1 site 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 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 25 Feb 2022. 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 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?
Ability of Next Generation Sequencing to detect Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in blood (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03505879, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 25 Feb 2022.
