  Purpose

This research is being done to see if two rapid bedside tests (OSOM Trichomonas Rapid Test and BVBlue Test) that give results in 10 minutes are as accurate as standard tests (that take up to 7 days to get results) to diagnose common vaginal infections (Trichomonas and bacterial vaginosis).

Both rapid tests (OSOM and BVBlue) are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used by healthcare professionals to aid in the diagnosis of these infections. This study is being done to validate (or confirm)the accuracy of these tests. This study may help researchers decide if these tests could be used in remote research settings (in place of the standard office testing) to increase diagnosis and prompt treatment of these vaginal infections.

Official Title: A Validation Study of Genzyme Diagnostics OSOM Trichomonas Rapid Test and BVBlue Test

Further study details as provided by University of Pittsburgh:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Sensitivity of the OSOM Rapid Test and PCR Wet Mount Microscopy in Diagnosing Trichomonas Vaginalis in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Women [ Time Frame: Visit 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Sensitivity of the OSOM Rapid test and PCR wet mount microscopy in diagnosing Trichomonas vaginalis using Trichomonas culture as the gold standard in symptomatic and asymptomatic women. The sensitivity of a test is the percentage of people who have the infection (as diagnosed by the gold standard method) among those who have a positive test.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Specificity of the OSOM Rapid Test and PCR Wet Mount Microscopy in Diagnosing Trichomonas Vaginalis in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Women [ Time Frame: Visit 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Specificity of the OSOM Rapid test and PCR wet mount microscopy in diagnosing Trichomonas vaginalis using Trichomonas culture as the gold standard in symptomatic and asymptomatic women. The specificity of a test is the percentage of people who do not have the infection (as diagnosed using the gold standard method) among those who have a negative test.

  • Sensitivity of the BVBlue Test and Amsel Criteria in Diagnosing BV in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Women. [ Time Frame: Visit 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Sensitivity of the BVBlue Test and Amsel criteria in diagnosing BV using Gram Stain (Nugent scoring) as the gold standard in symptomatic and asymptomatic women. The sensitivity of a test is the percentage of people who have the infection (as diagnosed by the gold standard method) among those who have a positive test.

  • Specificity of the BVBlue Test and Amsel Criteria in Diagnosing BV in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Women. [ Time Frame: Visit 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Specificity of the BVBlue Test and Amsel criteria in diagnosing BV using Gram Stain (Nugent scoring) as the gold standard in symptomatic and asymptomatic women. The specificity of a test is the percentage of people who do not have the infection (as diagnosed by the gold standard method) among those who have a negative test.
