One prick, three diseases: new rapid test under study
NCT ID NCT06082336
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new medical device called MagIA IBC that uses a single drop of blood from a finger prick to screen for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C at the same time. Researchers will enroll 252 adults who are known or suspected to have one of these infections. The goal is to see how accurate the test is compared to standard lab tests, and whether it works reliably with different types of blood samples.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MagIA IBC diagnostic test
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a quick, single finger-prick test to screen for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, making diagnosis faster and more accessible.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 252 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The test's accuracy is still being evaluated, and it may not perform as well in real-world settings.
