Microbial Cell-free Metagenomic Sequencing for Suspected Infections in Adult Immunocompromised Outpatients

RecruitingNAAges 18 Years - anyAllKarius, Inc.
๐Ÿ’ฌ

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This clinical trial is designed to evaluate if adding the Karius Spectrumโ„ข plasma test to usual care diagnostic tests, compared to usual care testing alone, among immunocompromised participants presenting with suspected infection in the outpatient setting leads to faster infection diagnosis and treatment. Participants will give a blood sample one time to be used for the testing. Information about the participant's illness and any treatments within 30 days following enrollment will be recorded.

Active symptoms are likely attributed to non-infectious causes. 2. Any other clinically significant medical condition that, in the opinion of the treating provider, makes participation undesirable, including but not limited to severe psychiatric illness, etc. \*For Participants enrolled in Sub-Protocol A- Solid Organ Transplant\* All Sub-Protocol A subjects must not meet the following: <!-- --> 1. Patients who have been previously evaluated (including via telehealth) for the same clinical signs and symptoms at this institution and pathogen-directed usual care (UC), diagnostic testing was ordered during that prior encounter, with one or more diagnostic test results still pending. 2. Patients with a suspected or confirmed primary upper respiratory infection (e.g., viral pharyngitis, sinusitis, or uncomplicated bronchitis) unless there is clinical suspicion of a concurrent lower respiratory or systemic infection requiring further diagnostic evaluation. * For Participants enrolled in Sub-Protocol B- Hematological Malignancies and Transplant\* All Sub-Protocol B subjects must not meet the following: 1. Patients that have been previously evaluated (including via telehealth) for the same clinical signs and symptoms at this institution and pathogen-directed usual care (UC) diagnostic testing was ordered during that prior encounter with one or more diagnostic tests results still pending. 2.
