About this study

Official title: Impact of the Syndromic PCR System FilmArray on Management of ICU Patients With Severe Pulmonary Disease in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

The research aims to determine the impact of a syndromic mutiplex PCR assay (FilmArray) on the management of patients hospitalized in ICU for severe respiratory disease.

During the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, the diagnosis of pneumonia has become considerably more complex as the biological, radiological and clinical criteria of covid-19 interfere with the standard criteria for the diagnosis of severe respiratory diseases. Moreover, patients with COVID-19 are at higher risk of developing other associated infections and thus, patients have therefore often been treated with antibiotics, adequately or not, due to difficulty to quickly identify the etiology of their symptoms with conventional methods.

In order to improve their treatment, both diagnostic and therapeutic, we set up a new syndromic molecular test in our laboratories to accelerate and improve the pneumonia management and antibiotic stewardship. This research will include 100 to 150 adult patients hospitalized in ICU during the first half of 2020. It will take place within the Nancy University Hospital and the Reims University Hospital, France.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FilmArray PCR on respiratory samplesDiagnostic test

    Molecular test performed on respiratory samples realized for microbiological routine testing as part of the care

What is being measured

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

  1. Therapeutic decision

    Antibiotic prescription modification following the FilmArray results as:

    • No prescription
    • No change in antibiotic utilization
    • Antibiotic initiation
    • Antibiotic escalation
    • Antibiotic de-escalation
    • Antibiotic discontinuation

    Measured: 24 h following the FilmArray results

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infectious Disease and Pneumonia, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France.

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 4 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 1 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Therapeutic decision (time frame: 24 h following the FilmArray results). 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 NCT04453540, 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 1 Jul 2020.
