This study aims to investigate the potential of a new NGS platform for the rapid diagnosis of circulating bacteria in blood.', 'detailedDescription': 'Early start of antimicrobials is the cornerstone of management of critically ill patients. The appropriate time window for this early intervention may vary greatly, but it is considered to be one to 3 hours from hospital admission. However, the choice of the antimicrobials for early intervention relies on empirical selection and may several times be inappropriate due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. The only way to overcome this difficulty is guidance through early microbial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). However, blood cultures are positive in almost 20% of critically ill patients and AST may delay as much as 72 hours.\n\nThis means that another type of approach is warranted which will tackle the major limitation of standard-of-care (SoC) microbiology, namely, the need to incubate whole blood into flasks enriched with growth media which necessitates subculturing once a blood flask turns positive. It is evident that rapid identification of the pathogen followed by AST using whole blood without the need of blood culture can be a major advance in the diagnostic field.\n\nThe present study is based on previous analysis of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) whole blood coming from patients with known bloodstream infection. Next generation sequencing (NGS) of bacterial DNA extracted from whole blood managed to identify the correct pathogen. This study is aiming at the validation of this NGS -based assay in a broader number of patients.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Patients who meet all inclusion criteria and who do not meet any exclusion criterion will be enrolled in the study.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age equal to or above 18 years.\n* Both genders.\n* Written informed consent provided by the patient or by one first-degree relative/spouse in case of patients unable to consent.\n* Patients with high suspicion of infection with at least one sign of the quick SOFA score (i.e. one of mental confusion, more than 22 breaths per minute or systolic blood pressure less than 100mmHg).\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age below 18 years.\n* Denial for written informed consent.\n* Patients already receiving antibiotics.\n* Pregnancy or lactation.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06141395', 'acronym': 'BIOARTE', 'briefTitle': 'NGS-Based Assay of Blood Samples of Sepsis Patients for Rapid Bacterial Identification', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Hellenic Institute for the Study of Sepsis'}, 'officialTitle': 'Development Of A Non-Interventional Diagnostic Ngs-Based Assay Of Blood Samples Of Sepsis Patients For Rapid Bacterial Identification Based On Next Generation Sequencing.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'BIOARTE'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Patients with an infection', 'description': 'Patients with high suspicion of infection with at least one sign of the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: NGS-based assay for bacterial identification']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'NGS-based assay for bacterial identification', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'A total volume of 26ml of whole blood will be sampled from each enrolled patient for three consecutive days.
