The Performance of the Mologic Biomarker Panel in Infection

• Conditions: Infection; Sepsis

• Registration Number: NCT03217552
• Lead Sponsor: Mologic Ltd

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, single center, observational, cohort study of patients to determine whether the Mologic Biomarker Panel can identify patients with infection from those without, including those with other reasons for inflammation (e.g. post-operative). It will also assess whether it has the potential to judge the severity of illness, prognosticate outcome and guide antibiotic therapy.

The aim is to recruit patients who are "representative" of patients with suspected sepsis, uncomplicated infection, or non-infection related critical illness that require critical care intervention and assessment.

This study is observational and will not alter patient management or the standard of care. The results from the investigational Mologic Biomarker Panel and associated research assays will not be provided to treating clinicians, or used in any manner to affect patient care.

The study will take place over approximately an 18-month period and it is anticipated that approximately 600 patients will be collectively enrolled. The study aims to recruit patients from three environments within UCLH:

* The Emergency Department.

* Critical Care Unit

* Patients undergoing major surgery

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Biomarkers and results from routine clinical testing for infection	18 months	Research assay will be used to test for the investigational Mologic biomarker panel and these results will be assessed using the results obtained from conventional testing used to identify infection (such as white cell count and CRP), in order to find a clinical association with the mologic biomarkers and patients with infections.
