About this study

Official title: Multi-Center Study of a Point-of-Care Immunoassay for the Detection of Bacterial Sinusitis

This study is conducted to evaluate the performance of a rapid, point-of-care in vitro diagnostic device (Sinu-Test®) for the qualitative detection of the three most common pathogens responsible for causing bacterial sinusitis.

Read the detailed description

Mucous specimens will be collected from patients displaying symptoms of acute bacterial sinusitis enrolled by primary care and/or otolaryngology clinics in the United States. Health care professionals not having endoscopy certification will collect specimens using the Entvantage sample collection device. Health care professionals with nasal endoscopy certification or specialty training will collect comparator specimens using an endoscope. Untrained operators with a range of education and training (primary care physician, otolaryngologist, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, registered nurse or other healthcare professional), will perform the Sinu-Test® lateral flow assay in an outpatient setting. Mucous samples will be tested for the presence of 3 bacterial pathogens responsible for sinusitis using the Sinu-Test® in the clinic and by a composite comparator method comprised of standard quantitative bacterial culture with identification (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry instrument) and semiquantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) of the residual culture sample and the Sinu-Test® residual swab performed by a central laboratory.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity (positive predictive agreement) and specificity (negative predictive agreement) of the diagnostic device

    Assessment of the true positive and true negative rate of the point-of-care test device relative to the composite reference standard for each of the 3 bacterial microorganisms.

    Measured: Cumulation of one-time subject sample results obtained in 20-30 minutes for point-of-care test and 3-5 days for lab results

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV)

    Positive predictive value is the probability that subjects with a positive point-of-care test truly have the bacteria present. Negative predictive value is the probability that subjects with a negative point-of-care test truly do not have the bacteria present.

    Measured: Cumulation of one-time subject sample results obtained in 20-30 minutes for point-of-care test and 3-5 days for lab results

  2. Positive likelihood ratio (LR+) and negative likelihood ratio (LR-)

    LR+ is equivalent to the probability of a true positive result divided by the probability of a false positive result. LR- is equivalent to the probability of a false negative result divided by the probability of a true negative result.

    Measured: Cumulation of one-time subject sample results obtained in 20-30 minutes for point-of-care test and 3-5 days for lab results

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sinusitis Bacterial, run by ENTvantage Dx at 7 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 1 inclusion and 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of funding). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Sensitivity (positive predictive agreement) and specificity (negative predictive agreement) of the diagnostic device (time frame: Cumulation of one-time subject sample results obtained in 20-30 minutes for point-of-care test and 3-5 days for lab results). 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 12 Apr 2023.
