About this study

The goal of this observational study is investigate the accuracy of the NanoDetect-TB kit in diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) using frozen serum and plasma samples collected from individuals suspected to have TB disease.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • How does this investigational device compare to the gold standard for TB diagnosis of sputum culture?
  • How does it compare to Acid-Fast Bacteria (AFB) smear microscopy and FDA-approved NAAT TB diagnostic assays?

Participants will be asked to have blood drawn and provide demographic and medical data for this study in a single visit.

What participants receive

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

  • NanoDetect-TBDevice

    This study of the NanoDetect-TB investigational device will test plasma and serum samples from TB suspects. There is no intervention for the subjects and there will be a single visit blood draw.

What is being measured

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

  1. NanoDetect-TB result compared to sputum culture

    The investigational device results will be compared to the primary reference of sputum culture for determining relative sensitivity and specificity.

    Measured: Single visit for patient for blood draw.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. NanoDetect-TB result compared to AFB Smear and NAAT

    The investigational device results will be further compared to the AFB Smear and NAAT for determining relative sensitivity and specificity.

    Measured: Single visit for patient for blood draw.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tuberculosis, Pulmonary and Tuberculosis, Extrapulmonary, run by NanoPin Technologies, Inc..

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 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 Thomas Tombler, Ph.D. (18056800377, ttombler@nanopintech.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

NanoDetect-TB result compared to sputum culture (time frame: Single visit for patient for blood draw.). 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?
