Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a 2-arm, multicenter, multinational, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Hospitalized subjects with blood cultures growing Gram negative bacilli (GNB) will be randomized 1:1 to have the positive blood cultures characterized using standard of care (SOC) antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) vs. a rapid AST method known as Reveal™ in addition to SOC AST. The purpose of the FAST trial is to evaluate whether use of a rapid phenotypic AST improves clinical outcomes compared to use of SOC AST methods in clinical settings with high resistance rates.

Patient and care provider will not know which arm subject is randomized into until after the stewardship team has review the Reveal results and provided feedback on initial therapies prescribed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard of Care

When a blood culture growing GNB is randomized standard of care arm the positive blood cultures will be characterized using standard of care antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST)

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Reveal

When a blood culture growing GNB is randomized to the Reveal arm, the positive blood culture will be characterized using Reveal, a rapid AST, and the standard of care AST.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Reveal

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Reveal is a rapid AST method, which uses small molecule sensor technology to detect growth of bacterial populations by measuring volatile metabolites, and provides AST results in \~5 hours. Reveal™ is approved for clinical use in the European Union (EU) and Israel and approval is in process in India, and provides minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for 28 antibiotics and 9 Gram negative species, that together account for \~90% of organisms causing Gram negative blood stream infections (BSI).
