About this study

Official title: Evaluation of CRISPR-based Test for the Rapid Identification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Suspects

This observational Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) diagnostics evaluation study is a prospective study of pulmonary TB suspects who are undergoing sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) evaluation for pulmonary TB. The sensitivity and specificity of the CRISPR-based assay will be compared to clinical diagnosis, conventional culture methods and Xpert MTB/RIF assay on same batch specimens.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of clinically diagnosed TB participants with CRISPR-based test MTB positive in sputum/BALF who are Xpert MTB/RIF Assay positive and/or MGIT culture positive for M.tuberculosis.

    Measured: week 0

  2. Proportion of clinically diagnosed TB participants with CRISPR-based test MTB positive in sputum/BALF who are Xpert MTB/RIF Assay negative and/or MGIT culture negative for M.tuberculosis.

    Measured: week 0

  3. Proportion of clinically diagnosed non-TB participants with CRISPR-based test MTB positive in sputum/BALF.

    Measured: week 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, run by Huashan 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 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?

Contact Wenhong Zhang ((+86) 21 5288 7970, zhangwenhong@fudan.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of clinically diagnosed TB participants with CRISPR-based test MTB positive in sputum/BALF who are Xpert MTB/RIF Assay positive and/or MGIT culture positive for M.tuberculosis. (time frame: week 0). The study lists 3 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 NCT04074369, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Aug 2019.
