Study summary

The NeuMoDx EBV Quant Assay 2.0 study is a multi-center, observational clinical investigation designed to evaluate the performance of the NeuMoDx EBV Quant Assay 2.0 in quantifying Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA levels in plasma samples from immunocompromised transplant patients. The study compares the NeuMoDx EBV assay's performance against an FDA-cleared comparator assay under routine clinical use conditions, utilizing both the NeuMoDx™ 96 and NeuMoDx™ 288 Molecular Systems. The aim is to demonstrate the quantitative concordance and clinical utility of the assay in monitoring EBV DNA levels as part of patient management.

Read the detailed description

This study is an observational, multi-center, open-labeled, prospective, and retrospective clinical evaluation aimed at assessing the performance of the NeuMoDx EBV Quant Assay 2.0 on the NeuMoDx™ 96 and NeuMoDx™ 288 Molecular Systems. Plasma samples are collected from immunocompromised patients undergoing solid organ transplant (SOT) or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who are at risk of EBV infection or reactivation. The study includes both fresh and frozen plasma specimens obtained as part of routine clinical care.

The primary objective is to demonstrate the quantitative concordance of the NeuMoDx EBV assay when compared to the cobas® EBV assay (Roche Diagnostics Corporation) using a predefined set of performance criteria. The study also assesses the equivalence of performance between the two NeuMoDx systems (NeuMoDx™ 96 and NeuMoDx™ 288) in quantifying EBV DNA levels across a range of clinical specimens. Secondary objectives include evaluating the assay's performance across different viral load concentrations and subgroups.

Study population

Standard of care for transplant patients undergoing immuno suppression

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • transplant patients (Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) or Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant ()).
  • Fresh and frozen plasma specimens derived from whole blood collected with EDTA as an anticoagulant.
  • Residual fresh or frozen EDTA plasma specimens obtained from routine testing, including specimens collected from the same subject at different timepoints.
  • Sufficient sample volume 1.6- 2.0 ml for testing with 2 assays plus discordant testing.
  • EDTA plasma samples have been stored under the following conditions:
  • 2-8° C up to 7 days and/or -20° C +/- 2° C or colder for up to 6 months following the separation of plasma from whole blood. Or fresh EDTA plasma samples that have not been stored loaded onto the NeuMoDx™ system immediately after they have been separated from whole blood.
  • Frozen samples have not gone through more than two freeze/thaw cycles.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Specimens not collected according to the manufacturer's instructions or study protocol.
  • Lack of clear subject identification or label on a residual plasma sample
  • Unable to obtain required medical chart information.
  • Obvious physical damage to the residual sample.
  • Specimens that have remained onboard the NeuMoDx System for longer than 8 hours prior to processing.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testNeuMoDx EBV Quant 2.0 Assay

    The NeuMoDx™ EBV Quant Assay 2.0 is an automated in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantification of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in EDTA plasma from immunocompromised transplant patients. Transplant patients are screened for EBV viral load as part of their standard of care. The remaining samples from these in vitro diagnostic nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) will be analyzed using the NeuMoDx EBV Quant Assay 2.0 to quantify EBV DNA in EDTA plasma. That result will be compared to a comparator in vitro diagnostic assay to evaluate the performance of the NeuMoDx EBV Quant 2.0 assay.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Demonstration that the NeuMoDx™ EBV Quant Assay 2.0 achieves its intended performance during normal conditions of use by the intended user in the intended environment

    The concordance of the NeuMoDx™ EBV Quant Assay 2.0 to a comparator's test shall meet these performance metrics with EBV-positive samples within the linear range of the NeuMoDx™ EBV Quant Assay 2.0: * Slope (m): 0.9 ≤ m ≤1.1 * R2 ≥ 0.90, or p-value ≥ 0.05 Due to the variance in EBV qPCR assays, the Intercept (b) of the linearity fit will be characterized with an anticipated range of -1.0 to +1.0 Log10(IU/mL). Percent agreement above the threshold (\>LoD/LLoQ) of the reference method shall be \> 95%, with the lower confidence interval to be \> 80%. Percent agreement below the threshold (\<LoD/LLoQ) of the reference method shall be \> 95%, with the lower confidence interval to be \> 90%."

    Time frame: the primary outcome was assessed a single time after collecting and testing specimens over a 19 month duration

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 Nov 8, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
