ADenoVirus Initiative Study in Epidemiology in UK

October 19, 2015 updated by: NicOx

Epidemiological, Prospective, Multicentric, Open Study To Assess The Characteristics And Frequency Of Adenoviral Conjunctivitis As Diagnosed With The Point Of Care AdenoPlus® Test In Patients Suffering From Acute Conjunctivitis

The objectives of this study is to assess the characteristics and frequency of adenovirus conjunctivitis in a population of male and female patients from one year of age who present signs and symptoms of acute conjunctivitis.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Epidemiological, prospective, open, multicentric trial in patients suffering from acute conjunctivitis who will undergo a rapid diagnostic test for adenoviral conjunctivitis at the time of their visit to the ophthalmologist office, at the emergency room or during hospitalization. This epidemiological study will include approximately 500 patients in the United Kingdom. The planned duration of the study is one year from the first patient visit to the last patient visit.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 year and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Any female and male patients from one year of age with signs and symptoms of acute conjunctivitis either seen during ophthalmology consultations or who are in the emergency room or hospitalized, can be enrolled in the study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or Female patients of at least one year of age presenting acute (for less than 7 days) conjunctivitis signs and symptoms.
  • Patient or / and legal representative (if patient below 18 years of age) must be able to provide oral consent for the collection and treatment of the questionnaire data.
  • No history of hypersensitivity to corn starch, talcum powder or Dacron (sampling fleece components).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Current use or having received (within the last 7 days) local antiviral therapies such as povidone iodine or ganciclovir, or topical steroids or immunomodulators such as cyclosporine which may interfere with the test result.
  • Previous enrolment in the present study.
  • Any direct involvement with the study conduct at site or any family link with study site staff.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Frequency of patients with adenovirus conjunctivitis
Time Frame: During the visit to the ophthalmologist before and just after the AdenoPlus® test done on the same day (one visit)
The percentage of patients with adenovirus conjunctivitis documented by a positive AdenoPlus® test over the tested population of male and female patients who present signs and symptoms of acute conjunctivitis.
During the visit to the ophthalmologist before and just after the AdenoPlus® test done on the same day (one visit)

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Seasonality and geographic repartition observed.
Time Frame: During the visit to the ophthalmologist before and just after the AdenoPlus® test done on the same day (one visit)
The number of patients with adenovirus conjunctivitis who visited the ophthalmologist in spring, summer, autumn and winter and their geographic area (e.g. by hospital, by area).
During the visit to the ophthalmologist before and just after the AdenoPlus® test done on the same day (one visit)
Clinical profiles of the patients
Time Frame: During the visit to the ophthalmologist before and just after the AdenoPlus® test done on the same day (one visit)
The percentage of each eye signs and symptoms, the mean duration of the disease for both the patients with positive and negative AdenoPlus® tests, the number or follow-up visit done and the correlation between the initial diagnosis (before AdenoPlus® test results) and the final diagnosis (post AdenoPlus® test results).
During the visit to the ophthalmologist before and just after the AdenoPlus® test done on the same day (one visit)
Resource utilization during the treatment and evaluation of the costs
Time Frame: On day 1: at least once during the single visit to the ophthalmologist and if any also during the follow-up visit(s)
Estimation of resource utilized during course of treatment (use of drugs, number of visits done by the patient…), and associated costs (which would be calculated by applying unit costs to resource use).
On day 1: at least once during the single visit to the ophthalmologist and if any also during the follow-up visit(s)
Patient/parent absenteeism linked to this disease.
Time Frame: On day 1: at least once during the single visit to the ophthalmologist and if any also during the follow-up visit(s)
Number of days out of work and/or out of school linked to this disease.
On day 1: at least once during the single visit to the ophthalmologist and if any also during the follow-up visit(s)
Safety assessment
Time Frame: On day 1: at least once during the single visit to the ophthalmologist and if any also during the follow-up visit(s)
Number of adverse incidents (AIs) and events that are of significant (SEs) reported to Nicox
On day 1: at least once during the single visit to the ophthalmologist and if any also during the follow-up visit(s)

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
