Completed
Conditions
Herpes Simplex Infections
Registration Number
NCT02270099
Lead Sponsor
Hologic, Inc.
Brief Summary

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of the Aptima HSV 1 & 2 Assay on Panther1 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.
