Sites are randomized for starting with a 6-month period performing the test or 6-month period without the test (control time with the standard of care).\n\nPrimary outcome are the number of patients with documented bacteraemia or fungemia. Secondary outcome are (1) the number of patients with an adequate anti-infective therapy and how long it happens after the diagnosis, (2) mortality, (3) new complicated infection, (4) number of investigations (microbial and non microbial) done for the etiological diagnosis, and global hospitalization costs.\n\nThe advantage of the new test will be evaluated per protocol and with an intend to treat analyses. We hypothesized that the new test will bring 15% more microbial diagnosis than the standard of care. Consequently, and according to the number of sites interested in the study, 166 to 2500 patients will be enrolled with 480 to 750 patients with febrile neutropenia, 1000 to 1500 patients with severe sepsis in Intensive Care Units (ICU). Patients with suspicion of infective endocarditis will be evaluated for the number of diagnosis of true endocarditis according to Duke Criteria, and the time to diagnosis.\n\nHealth economic evaluation will compare the costs of hospitalization, microbial investigations including the new test, other non clinical investigations and consequences on the organization.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age≥ 18 years\n* Written signed and dated inform consent\n* First time with fever observed in a neutropenic patient\n* Severe sepsis in a patient hospitalized in ICU\n* Suspicion of infective endocarditis\n* Microbial investigation from Monday to Friday\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Not affiliated to Health Insurance (social security)\n* Included in another interventional trial testing microbial DNA detection during the time "without Septifast®"\n* Included in another clinical trial for which the clinician assumes that it will not be possible to prescribe an anti-infectious therapy adequately to microbial detection in the blood\n* Patient previously included in the protocol\n* Sepsis with a microbial diagnosis'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00709358', 'acronym': 'EVAMICA', 'briefTitle': 'Diagnosis of Septicaemia by Detection of Microbial DNA in Blood in Severe Infections', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris'}, 'officialTitle': 'Health Economic Evaluation of Rapid Detection of Bacteraemia and Fungemia by Real Time PCR for Cases of Febrile Neutropenia, Suspicion of Endocarditis and Severe Sepsis in Intensive Care Units', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'P070308'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': '2', 'description': 'Detection by blood culture', 'interventionNames': ['Other: detection of microbial DNA in blood by blood culture']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '1', 'description': 'Test LightCycler SeptiFast® (Roche)', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Detection of microbial DNA in blood by SeptiFast®']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Detection of microbial DNA in blood by SeptiFast®', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'The LightCycler® SeptiFast Test, the innovative real-time PCR test from Roche Diagnostics, is designed to detect and identify the 25 most important bacterial and fungal species causing bloodstream infections within just a few hours.
