A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study to Derive and Verify the Performance of a Host-response Based Diagnostic Tool for Early Detection of Severe Infections.

October 28, 2024 updated by: MeMed Diagnostics Ltd.

The study is a multi-center, prospective, observational clinical study enrolling patients from at least 3 medical centers. Study population will include patients over the age of 18 years.

The study will recruit patients presenting with suspicion of acute infection/sepsis and healthy individuals.

Study main objective is to derive and verify a host response based score to predicte severe outcome.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Detailed Description

For determining disease severity each enrolled patient will be assigned as either "severe outcome patient" or "non severe outcome patient" according to predefined criteria. (or "healthy").

Participation in the study requires the collection of routine patient data and blood sample. Blood samples will be used for measurements of host biomarkers that predict disease severity. The blood samples will be collected upon enrollment.

In addition, a standardized patient questionnaire inquiring about severity outcomes met up to 28 days after presentation will be conducted by phone call 28 to 42 days post admission.

Enrolled patients will be managed according to the current standard of care per standard institutional procedures. Results of the measured biomarkers will not be revealed to the attending clinician and so will not influence patient management.
