Trial summary

A new analyser has been developed (Allegro™) which allows the tests to be undertaken at the clinic, with the results available in a few minutes. This means that patients can get immediate feedback and that the doctors/nurses can adjust treatment before the patient leaves the clinic. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of the Analytical Performance of ALLEGRO™ Instrument: Performance Evaluation of In Vitro Diagnostic Device

A new analyser has been developed (Allegro™) which allows the tests to be undertaken at the clinic, with the results available in a few minutes. This means that patients can get immediate feedback and that the doctors/nurses can adjust treatment before the patient leaves the clinic. It is obviously important that this analyser performs to a similar degree of accuracy to the laboratory analyses.

Read the detailed description

Blood and urine tests are used in the assessment of diabetes and to guide clinical management. In the traditional model of care, blood samples are taken from patients at the clinic and are sent to the laboratory for analysis and the results may not be available for a number of hours/days after the clinic visit.

A new analyser has been developed (Allegro™) which allows the tests to be undertaken at the clinic, with the results available in a few minutes. This means that patients can get immediate feedback and that the doctors/nurses can adjust treatment before the patient leaves the clinic. It is obviously important that this analyser performs to a similar degree of accuracy to the laboratory analyses.

The aim of this research study is to assess the accuracy of the Allegro™ analyser compared to laboratory analyses on finger prick capillary blood samples and urine samples. Fifty (50) patients with diabetes will be invited to give a venous blood sample, finger prick capillary blood sample and urine sample. The venous blood sample, finger prick capillary blood sample and urine sample will be analysed by both the Allegro™ analyser and laboratory analyses and the results compared. The Allegro™ results will not be used in the management of the patients' diabetes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analytical verification of Allegro - HbA1c comparison

    Allegro™, a point of care testing instrument is as effective as a reference laboratory method for HbA1c blood results in mmol/mol

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. Analytical verification of Allegro - Cholesterol comparison

    Allegro™, a point of care testing instrument is as effective as a reference laboratory method for Cholesterol blood results in mmol/L

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Analytical verification of Allegro - HDL comparison

    Allegro™, a point of care testing instrument is as effective as a reference laboratory method for HDL blood results in mmol/L

    Measured: 10 minutes

  4. Analytical verification of Allegro - Triglycerides comparison

    Allegro™, a point of care testing instrument is as effective as a reference laboratory method for Triglycerides blood results in mmol/L

    Measured: 10 minutes

  5. Analytical verification of Allegro - Glucose comparison

    Allegro™, a point of care testing instrument is as effective as a reference laboratory method for Glucose blood results in mmol/L

    Measured: 10 minutes

  6. Analytical verification of Allegro - Creatinine comparison

    Allegro™, a point of care testing instrument is as effective as a reference laboratory method for Creatinine blood results in mg/dL

    Measured: 10 minutes

  7. Analytical verification of Allegro - Urine creatinine comparison

    Allegro™, a point of care testing instrument is as effective as a reference laboratory method for Creatinine urine results in mg/dL

    Measured: 10 minutes

  8. Analytical verification of Allegro - Urine Albumin comparison

    Allegro™, a point of care testing instrument is as effective as a reference laboratory method for Albumin urine results in g/L

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes, run by Nova Biomedical at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 29 Jul 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Analytical verification of Allegro - HbA1c comparison (time frame: 10 minutes). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Jul 2019.
