The NATURAL Study: Diagnosing Abdominal Pain with RNA Levels
The NATURAL Study is looking at a new blood test called TruNAV to help doctors diagnose the cause of abdominal pain. TruNAV measures specific RNA markers in your blood that show if your body is fighting an infection. This study aims to see if TruNAV can accurately tell if you have an infection in your abdomen, like appendicitis or kidney infection. Researchers want to see if this test can be more than 90% accurate in ruling out these infections. You might be able to join if you are over 7 years old, have abdominal pain that isn't from an injury, and doctors suspect you might have an abdominal infection. The study's success will be measured by how well TruNAV's results match what doctors ultimately diagnose. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving you a specific treatment. It plans to include 1000 participants.
- What's involved
- You would have blood drawn for the TruNAV test. Doctors will also collect information about your health for up to 30 days after your initial visit.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your clinical assessment of infection will be followed for up to 30 days after your initial visit.

What this trial measures
- Agreement to Clinical Adjudication of InfectionThe clinical assessment of infection includes up to 30 days of relevant data after the initial patient visit.
The primary outcome is the agreement (concordance) of the experimental TruNAV blood test with the clinically adjudicated diagnosis of intraabdominal infection, such as appendicitis.
