Evaluation of the HSV 1 & 2 Assay in Specimens From Symptomatic Subjects

August 10, 2017 updated by: Hologic, Inc.

Clinical Evaluation of the Aptima® Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 & 2 Assay on the Panther® System in Swab Specimens From Symptomatic Subjects Presenting With a Suspected Herpes Lesion(s)

This clinical performance study is being conducted to evaluate the performance of the Aptima Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 & 2 assay for detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV type 2 (HSV-2) in swab samples prospectively collected from suspected HSV lesions. Specimens collected using swabs from viral transport medium (VTM)collection kits and Aptima swab collection kits will be evaluated.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Male and female subjects attending participating US collection sites and presenting with suspected HSV lesion(s) will be eligible for the study. Sites may include family planning, general practice, dermatology, research, sexually transmitted infection, adolescent, and public health clinics. There are no age restrictions for this study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The subject has at least 1 active lesion (lesion with exudates and cellular material; eg, vesicle, ulcer) that is suspected to be caused by HSV (as determined by the clinician)
  • The subject and/or legally authorized representative is willing and able to provide consent prior to study participation (a minor will need the documented consent of his/her parent or legal guardian, unless the site has an institutional review board-approved waiver for parental consent for minors)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The subject has only HSV lesions without exudates and cellular material
  • The subject used a topical or oral antiviral medication used to treat HSV within 21 days of enrollment
  • Subject already participated in this study
  • Subject has a history of illness that the principal investigator (PI) or designee considers could interfere with or affect the conduct, results, and/or completion of the study
  • Subject has a history of illness that the PI or designee considers could create an unacceptable risk to the subject if enrolled in the study

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
Evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of the Aptima HSV 1 & 2 Assay on Panther
Time Frame: 1 day
Sensitivity and specificity of the Aptima HSV 1 & 2 assay will be determined by comparing assay results to results from a reference method representing the true infected status of the subjects. Sensitivity will be reported as the percentage of subjects with an HSV infection who test positive by the Aptima HSV 1 & 2 assay. Specificity will be reported as the percentage of subjects without an HSV infection who test negative by the Aptima HSV 1 & 2 assay.

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.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
