What participants receive

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

  • AtbFinderDevice

    In the present study, we provided a prospective evaluation of the effectiveness of antibiotics selected with AtbFinder compared to a retrospective analysis of antibiotic efficacy selected with conventional culture-based antibiotic susceptibility tets in patients with cystic fibrosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to an exacerbation (in months)

    Measured: Time Frame: up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Evaluate changes in forced expiratory volume from baseline to end of study

    Measured: Time Frame: up to 24 months

  2. Changes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa load (the number of colony forming units per 1 ml of sputum) from baseline to end of treatment

    Measured: Time Frame: up to 24 months

  3. Changes in bacterial load of isolated organisms (the number of colony forming units per 1 ml of sputum) from baseline to end of treatment

    Measured: Time Frame: up to 24 months

  4. Changes in blood white blood cell count (10*9 mg/L)

    Measured: Time Frame: up to 24 months

  5. Changes in blood C-reactive protein (in mg/L)

    Measured: Time Frame: up to 24 months

  6. Changes in weight (in kilograms)

    Measured: Time Frame: up to 24 months

  7. Changes in body mass index calculated as weight (in kilograms) divided by height squared (m2).

    Measured: Time Frame: up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AtbFinder in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Lung Infection Bacterial, run by TGV-Dx.

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 5 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 18 Oct 2022. 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?

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?

Time to an exacerbation (in months) (time frame: Time Frame: up to 24 months). 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 18 Oct 2022.
