Molecular Diagnostic clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Performances of DendrisCHIP®OA in Bone and Joint Infections

DENDRIS

Start date: December 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Bone and joint infections (BJI) with and without prosthetic material (knee, hip and shoulder) are complex to diagnose and treat, justifying the creation of expert centers by the French Ministry of Health (CRIOAc). In case of BJI with material, the diagnosis is based on a set of clinical, bacteriological, cytological and radiological criteria known as the EBJIS 2021 (European Bone & Joint Infections Society) criteria. For septic arthritis, diagnosis is based on bacteriology and cytology. Microbiology remains essential, and the delay of obtention of microbiological results is crucial to adapt the antibiotic treatment. Although, culture-based microbiology remains the most common diagnosis of BJI, its regular failure to identify the causative pathogen as well as its long-term modus operandi motivates the development of rapid and accurate molecular methods. The DendrisCHIP®OA platform has demonstrated its ability to offer routine molecular identification of the current micro-organisms involved in BJI, in less than 5 hours, with the detection of mecA resistance genes on series of 16 to 64 samples . The DendrisCHIP®OA is CE-marked and has already been the subject of an initial publication evaluating its performance in a single center. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performances of the DendrisCHIP®OA in detecting the pathogens recognized in its panel and the detection of the mecA gene compared with the routine microbiological techniques used in the inclusion centers participating to the study. The study aims to include 100 patients during 6 months in five inclusion centers in the Ile de France region.
