Clinical Trial Summary

Prospective, multi-site, study to evaluate the diagnosis rate of DNA and RNA sequencing of cerebrospinal fluid for identification of pathogens directly in patients who have already had a spinal tap to evaluate for infection and were found to have a pleocytosis. Diagnostic rate and clinical utility of concurrent standard testing will be compared to diagnostic rate and clinical utility of DNA and RNA sequencing.


Clinical Trial Description

IDbyDNA, Inc. has developed a robust sequencing reference database for viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites and developed novel analysis methods to analyze next-generation (NGS) sequencing data to rapidly identify infectious agents. This technology suite, known as the Explify™ platform, holds the promise to improve patient care and efficiently guide provider treatment planning for those suffering from infectious disease. The PIPSEC trial, developed by pediatric physicians specializing in genomic medicine, is intended to facilitate the acquisition of high quality and clinically annotated biospecimens for the purpose of research discovery. This project intends to advance metagenomics, microbial genetics, bioinformatics and data analytics, for pathogen detection utilizing cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) specimens to contribute to the diagnosis of infectious agents impacting the central nervous system among pediatric patients. Clinically annotated specimens will facilitate continued development and validation of the Explify test and its clinical utility for providers treating central nervous system (CNS) infections. The primary objective is to assess clinical utility of the Explify test compared to concurrent standard of care testing to identify pathogens from CSF fluid within a pediatric patient population. ;
