About this study

Multicapillary Ion mobility spectrometry of nasal air aspirates shall be investigated as screening tool for the detection of Influenza and SARS-CoV-2- infection.

Read the detailed description

Bacterial infections can be distinguished by analysis of the volatile organic compounds found in breath.

In patients with suspected Influenza infection, nasal air samples will be taken and analyzed by Multicapillary Ion mobility spectrometry (MCC IMS). Routinely all patients undergo polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of nasopharyngeal swabs for Influenza.

MCC IMS spectra will be compared between infected and non infected patients by cluster analysis and discrimination analysis.

If the number of infected patients exceeds 50 an additional validation cohort will be investigated sequentially otherwise validation will be performed during the Influenza epidemic 2021.

Due to decreasing numbers of Influenza-A- Infections study was opened to also include patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza, run by Klinikum Bayreuth GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

Cluster Analysis of MCC IMS spectra. (time frame: immediatly after sampling). 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 NCT04282135, which also lists 2 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 14 Jul 2020.
