Active clinical trials for "Trichomonas Infections"

This study is a multi-center study with a minimum of three CLIA-waived intended operator sites in the United States in which prospectively self-collected vaginal specimens obtained from subjects who are symptomatic or asymptomatic for CT, NG, or TV will be evaluated with the Click Sexual Health Test in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) waived setting. Subjects interested in participating in this study will be assessed for eligibility and asked to give informed consent and assent, if applicable, by the Investigational Review Board (IRB). Only those subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria may be enrolled in the study.

Vaginitis is the most common condition encountered in the gynecologist's office and is most commonly caused by bacerial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV). Establishing the correct etiology of symptomatic vaginitis can be challenging, and the evaluation of vaginitis by physicians is often substandard. The investigators will determine whether NAAT testing will improve the diagnosis of vaginal infections including bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV).

The purpose of this study is to validate Xpert CT/NG for the detection of CT and GC in rectal samples as part of the PA DOH and CLIA requirements. The evaluation of samples obtained from the pharynx is exploratory and will provide new information on the frequency of pharyngeal infection due to CT and GC. A secondary objective will be to evaluate the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis in vaginal and rectal samples using both the Xpert system and AC2 to assess whether women positive for this pathogen rectally usually or always have vaginal infection due to this pathogen. The investigators hypothesis is that real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplification testing with the Cepheid Xpert CT/NG will have greater sensitivity than culture in detecting Neisseria gonorrhoeae in rectal samples. The investigators also hypothesize that Xpert CT/NG will be equivalent to the Gen-Probe APTIMA Combo2 (AC2) in detecting Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in rectal samples.

The objective of this study is to obtain female first-catch urine, vaginal swab, endocervical swab, and cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution ("PreservCyt Specimens") for testing with the APTIMA Trichomonas vaginalis (ATV) Assay. These specimens will be used to demonstrate assay performance on the PANTHER System is comparable to performance on the TIGRIS System.

The Solana® Trichomonas Assay is an in vitro qualitative nucleic acid amplification test for the detection of Trichomonas vaginalis to aid in the diagnosis of trichomoniasis using the Helicase-Dependent Amplification (HDA) technology and the Solana instrument.

The objective of this study is to screen treated Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) positive women weekly using culture and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to determine how long TV DNA is detectable post treatment and to examine potential confounders to clearance such as bacterial vaginosis.

The worldwide incidence of trichomoniasis was estimated to be 276.4 million new cases per year in 2008 .In Egypt, the reported prevalence rate ranges from 5% to 79.16% we aim to study genetic variability of Trichomonas vaginalis using PCR
