Study summary

This study aims to validate a novel antibiotic susceptibility test (InSignia) for gonorrhoea in patient clinical samples.

The hypothesis is that the InSignia test will be able to detect transcriptional responses after incubation in antibiotic for susceptible strains and not resistant strains.

Furthermore, this study will also add to our understanding on the performance of this test in various clinical specimens.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To determine the feasibility of performing antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) for Neisseria gonorrhoeae directly from patient samples using InSignia workflow and assay against commonly used & clinically relevant antibiotics.

    Feasibility of using the InSignia assay to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of NG - from sample collection, handling \& transport to laboratory analysis \& data interpretation.

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. To study the performance of the InSignia assay in determining antibiotic susceptibility of NG against commonly used & clinically relevant agents in clinical samples with comparison to gold standard methods.

    NG antibiotic susceptibility profile as determined by the InSignia assay compared to two other methods of NG AST - conventional culture via disc diffusion testing \& E-test and genetic resistance testing via the ResistancePlus® GC (RPGC) IVD test (TGA, CE-IVD (IVDR) approved), developed by SpeeDx Pty Ltd.

    Time frame: 1 year

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 9, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
