Summary

This study compares a new rapid point-of-care test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and mycoplasma genitalium to standard lab testing. The goal is to see if the faster test helps doctors give the right antibiotics on the same day, reducing unnecessary or missed treatments. Participants are sexually active people with symptoms or known exposure to an STI.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cobas® liat CT/NG/MG nucleic acid test
What this could lead to
If successful, this rapid test could help doctors prescribe the right antibiotics on the spot, reducing over- and under-treatment for common sexually transmitted infections.
What could go wrong
The test may not be more accurate than current methods, and its impact on treatment decisions could be limited by practical factors like clinic workflow or cost.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Sexually active people * People seeking medical services for symptoms consistent with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and/or known exposure to an STI Exclusion Criteria: * Previously enrolled in the study * Unable to provide informed consent * Currently pregnant * Declines POC testing * Presents for routine STI screening (asymptomatic) * Use of antimicrobial agents active against CT, NG, or MG during the 21 days before sample collection. Example of such antimicrobial agents include the following: Macrolides (e.g., azithromycin and erythromycin); Penicillins (e.g., amoxicillin); Tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline); Fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin); Cephalosporins (e.g., ceftriaxone and cefixime) * Use of phenazopyridine-containing urinary pain relief medicines (ie, Azo or Pyridium) within 2 days prior to sample collection * Use of any over-the-counter feminine hygiene products (internally or externally), such as vaginal moisturizers, lubricants (e.g., Replens, RepHresh, etc.), and feminine washes/vaginal douches, etc. within the 3 days prior to sample collection. The use of tampons or pads during menses is not an exclusionary criterion. * Contraindication to vaginal swab sampling where vaginal swab sampling is the only option available * Urination within 1 hour prior to sample collection (for subjects providing urine sample)
