About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the real-time performance of a new host response test (SeptiCyte RAPID) for differentiating sepsis from non-infection/systemic inflammatory response syndrome among patients suspected of sepsis within the first 24 hours of intensive care unit (ICU) admission.

Read the detailed description

The ability of SeptiCyte RAPID to differentiate sepsis from infection-negative systemic inflammation will be determined using retrospective physician diagnosis performed by an external panel of three physicians not involved with the care of the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Real-time evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of SeptiCyte RAPID in differentiating sepsis from non-infectious systemic inflammation in patients admitted to the ICU.

    Percentage of correctly identified patients with sepsis or non-infectious systemic inflammation using SeptiCyte RAPID compared to clinical assessments using routine clinical, laboratory, and other findings.

    Measured: Time for enrollment, process samples, and collect data, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of diagnostic accuracy between SeptiCyte RAPID and up to 15 other clinical parameters in differentiating sepsis from non-infectious systemic inflammation in patients admitted to the ICU.

    Multi-parametric model to compare diagnostic accuracy between SeptiCyte RAPID alone or in combination with up to 15 other clinical parameters.

    Measured: Time for enrollment, process samples, and collect data, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, run by Immunexpress at 3 sites in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 2 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Real-time evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of SeptiCyte RAPID in differentiating sepsis from non-infectious systemic inflammation in patients admitted to the ICU. (time frame: Time for enrollment, process samples, and collect data, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT05469048, 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 2 Oct 2024.
