Trial summary

The objective of this research project is to design a risk-based model to decide when clinical performance studies should be performed on in-house developed in vitro diagnostic tests (IH-IVDs) in compliance with the European in vitro diagnostics regulation (EU IVDR 2017/746).

About this study

The objective of this research project is to design a risk-based model to decide when clinical performance studies should be performed on in-house developed in vitro diagnostic tests (IH-IVDs) in compliance with the European in vitro diagnostics regulation (EU IVDR 2017/746). To construct the dataset, semi-structured interviews will be conducted to assess the clinical hazards of the in-house in vitro diagnostic test assessments, their degree of significance and their importance with respect to clinical performance, as determined by the opinions of field specialists.

Read the detailed description

The project's intervention involves conducting semi-structured interviews with clinical laboratory managers and medical professionals. The estimated number of participants for this study is 30. Various In-house in vitro diagnostic tests (IH-IVDs) will be selected, that are classified under different categories according to the risk management in the new IVDR. Two interviews will be conducted for each test. These interviews will engage a laboratory technician and a medical expert specialized in that particular test. The purpose of these interviews is to gather data on the variables that contribute to the risks of IH-IVDs and their impact on clinical diagnosis and patient outcomes. The obtained results will be applied in creating a decision tree using a pre-validated algorithm. The semi-structured interviews feature pre-determined questions that allow participants to share their experiences and opinions within their area of expertise. Each interview is expected to last between thirty minutes to an hour. If consent is given, the interviews will be recorded but not published or shared. In accordance with the confidentiality policy, all data collected will be kept anonymous.

What is being measured

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

  1. Risk attributes of the in-house in vitro diagnostic tests measured with semi-structured interviews

    Risk attributes of the in-house in vitro diagnostic tests are the variables that have an impact on the clinical diagnosis and patient outcome. This will be measured with a semi-structured interview with medical doctors and laboratory managers.

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. risk impact of the in-house in vitro diagnostic tests measured with semi-structured interviews

    With the opinions and experience of professionals in the field of interest, the risk impact of the in-house in vitro diagnostic tests will be measured with semi-structured interviews. The impact defines the severity or importance of the risk attributes.

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Semi-structured interview in people with Risk Variables, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. 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?

Risk attributes of the in-house in vitro diagnostic tests measured with semi-structured interviews (time frame: 1 hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 May 2024.
