Clinical Concordance Evaluation of T-SPOT®.TB Assay Performance (T-Cell SelectTM Study)

March 2, 2022 updated by: Oxford Immunotec

Clinical Concordance Evaluation of the T-SPOT®.TB Assay Performance Using Positive Selection With the T-Cell SelectTM Kit and Density Gradient Cell Isolation Methods

The objective is to achieve 90% overall, positive and negative clinical concordance between results of the T-SPOT.TB assay, using cells isolated via density gradient centrifugation and positive selection using the T-Cell Select kit, between 0-55 hours following venepuncture

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this study, clinical concordance between results of the T-SPOT.TB assay, using cells stored for 0-8 hours post venepuncture and isolated via density gradient separation and positive selection with magnetic bead isolation using the T-Cell SelectTM Kit will be assessed. Concordance between results of the T-SPOT.TB assay at 0-8 hours post venepuncture and using cells isolated with density gradient centrifugation and results obtained from cells isolated using the T-Cell Select Kit, following storage between 0-55 hours post venepuncture, will be assessed.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

This evaluation will collect blood samples from subjects suspected of having TB infection and, samples from a low risk control population with no (or minimal) TB risk factors. All subjects presenting at participating clinics will be eligible for enrolment into the study provided they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria outlined in section 4. Based on previous experience and the medical profile of the patient attending each of clinics at the four study sites, it is expected that the sites will individually, and collectively, yield a range of positive and negative assay results required to assess the impact of the T-Cell Select kit on positive and negative agreements of the T-SPOT.TB test.
