Testing a new PCR test for echinococcosis diagnosis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study checks whether a new lab test (a PCR blood/tissue test) can more accurately diagnose echinococcosis. It may help doctors confirm the infection faster and more reliably so you can get the right treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 and have a confirmed echinococcosis diagnosis (either alveolar or cystic).
- You agree to take part by signing an informed consent form.
- You have French health coverage (social security) or are a beneficiary.
- You are not pregnant at the time of joining the study.
- You are legally able to consent and can follow study steps (good enough cooperation).

This study collects tissue and blood samples from people having surgery for echinococcosis. The samples will help develop a better PCR test (a lab test that detects the parasite) so doctors can diagnose the infection more accurately.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help guide the care of people being evaluated for colorectal cancer. It may support earlier or clearer decision-making alongside existing screening or colonoscopy results.
This trial looks at people with inactive liver cysts caused by echinococcus infection. It aims to understand these cysts better, which might help guide future care decisions.
This study looks at parts of the liver cyst wall during surgery for echinococcosis. It aims to learn more about the infection to help future treatments.
This study tests a new method for identifying bacteria causing severe corneal infections. It may help doctors choose the right treatment faster by improving how the infection is identified from corneal samples.
This study is testing a new rapid diagnostic test that aims to help eliminate onchocerciasis (river blindness). The test will be checked in people with different types of filarial worm infections (or no infection) to see how well it can tell them apart.
