Overview

Experimental study without drug and device, on pseudo-anonymized samples archived at the Tropica Biobank.

The objective is to evaluate the performance for the identification of microorganisms in blood samples and rectal swabs of real time PCR assays for the targets: KPC, VIM, IMP, NDM, Acinetobacter OXA, Oxa48, MCR.

The evaluations will be carried out taking into consideration the data obtained from the diagnostic routine at the DITM.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria:

  • Samples of patients for whom blood culture and Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) surveillance tests were carried out in rectal swabs at the IRCCS Sacro Cuore Don Calabria Hospital
  • Samples for which the Information and consent to the conservation of biological samples for research purposes at the Tropica Biobank has been signed

Exclusion criteria:

  • Absence of data relating to positivity or negativity to the germs of interest
  • Absence of stored residual material
  • Absence of information and consent to the conservation of biological samples for signed research purposes

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
