Trial summary

Pulmonary infections remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among patients worldwide. Pathogen identification is crucial yet difficult for the majority of the cases. Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing provides a potential technology for rapid and untargeted pathogen detection for pulmonary infection. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Microbiological Diagnostic Performance of Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing for Pulmonary Infection in Clinical Settings

Pulmonary infections remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among patients worldwide. Pathogen identification is crucial yet difficult for the majority of the cases. Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing provides a potential technology for rapid and untargeted pathogen detection for pulmonary infection. The study is designed observationally to investigate if mNGS is superior to traditional paradigm of serial tests in the aspect of diagnostic performance. Patients whose primary diagnosis is pulmonary infetion and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid can be obtained will be enrolled. Both mNGS and traditional paradigm of serial tests wil be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Infection, run by Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2019. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

microbiological diagnosis (pathogen of pulmonary infection) (time frame: through study completion, up to 6 months). 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 10 Jan 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
