About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of SARS-COV-2, Influenza and RSV 8-Well MT-PCR Panel for In Vitro Diagnostics

This study is a prospective accuracy observational study to evaluate the performance of the Highplex System SARS-Cov-2, Influenza and RSV 8-well in vitro diagnostic medical device panel and generate performance data. The precision of results will be evaluated in concordance with the comparator predicate device panel BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 (RP2.1).

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective accuracy observational study to evaluate the performance of the Highplex System SARS-Cov-2, Influenza and RSV 8-well in vitro diagnostic medical device panel and generate performance data. The precision of results will be evaluated in concordance with the comparator predicate device panel BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 (RP2.1). This study will utilise prospective sample respiratory swabs from individuals with paired test data, presenting with influenza-like symptoms (e.g., cough, nasal congestion, rhinorrhoea, sore throat, fever, headache, myalgia), as well as asymptomatic individuals. To meet the target number of 400 positive samples (50 samples per target; 8 targets in total), a required sampling size of 1000 participants will need to be screened to account for unviable samples and screen failures. Prospective respiratory samples will include nasopharyngeal swabs as described in Intended Use of the product.

What participants receive

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

  • SARS-COV-2, Influenza and RSV 8-Well MT-PCR PanelDiagnostic test

    The SARS-CoV-2, Influenza and RSV PCR test is multiplex-tandem polymerase chain reaction (MT-PCR) based on qualitive in vitro diagnostic testing for the detection and identification of pathogens in nucleic acid extracts.

  • BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1Diagnostic test

    The BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 (RP2.1) is a PCR-based multiplexed nucleic acid test intended for use with the BioFire® FilmArray® 2.0 or BioFire® FilmArray® Torch Systems for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple respiratory viral and bacterial nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) obtained from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with positive samples as evaluated by the AusDiagnostics SARS-COV-2, Influenza and RSV 8-Well MT-PCR Panel and the BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1.

    The study will be considered to have reached its primary endpoint when performance data from 50 positive samples for each panel target has been collected and evaluated for precision and concordance with the comparator predicate device panel BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 (RP2.1).

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SARS-COV-2, Influenza and RSV 8-Well MT-PCR Panel and BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 in people with Respiratory Viral Infection, run by AusDiagnostics Pty Ltd..

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 2 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 14 Jul 2023. 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?

Contact Joanna Haydar (+61 432 683 964, Joanna.Haydar@ausdx.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with positive samples as evaluated by the AusDiagnostics SARS-COV-2, Influenza and RSV 8-Well MT-PCR Panel and the BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1. (time frame: 6 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 14 Jul 2023.
