Trial Outcomes & Findings for Perinatal Precision Medicine (NCT NCT03211039)

NCT ID: NCT03211039

Last Updated: 2024-03-01

Results Overview

Perceived utility/benefit of sequencing based on "Clinician Assessment" questionnaire completed by patient's providers. Question: Was the test clinically useful? Response was measured on a 5-point Likert scale (very useful=5, useful=4, neutral=3, not very useful=2, not useful at all=1.

Participant Flow

Recruitment of acutely ill infants (age less than 1 year) during admission to the neonatal, pediatric or intensive care unit at Rady Children's Hospital, San Diego

Infants considered to be too severely ill at enrollment to be randomized to rapid diagnostic whole genome sequencing or rapid diagnostic whole exome sequencing were excluded from randomization and received ultra-rapid diagnostic whole genome sequencing with the fastest possible time to diagnosis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Within approximately 30 days of enrollment

WGS and WES are two clinical diagnostic test modalities. Results of testing were placed in the electronic medical record. Results either provided a molecular diagnosis that explained the patient's condition or did not. The diagnostic proportion is the number of patients who received a molecular diagnosis by the test modality divided by the total number of patients who were tested by that modality.

0/94 • 1 year for parental perception of harm; 28 days for mortality
Adverse event measured was parental perception that test was harmful to infant. 28-day mortality was a demographic measure of the severity of illness of patients. 28-day mortality not due to testing but rather to underlying disease.
