Stopped: Abbott Molecular stopped funding of study
Julius Schachter, PhD, (Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of California, San Francisco) and Susan S. Philip, MD MPH (Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco) are conducting a study to evaluate the Abbott RealTime CT/NG polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\] assay (which is a nucleic acid amplification test \[NAAT\]) for detecting two sexually transmitted bacteria, Chlamydia trachomatis \[CT\] and Neisseria gonorrhoeae \[NG\], using urine samples and swabs from the throat and rectum of men who have sex with men \[MSM\]. Using this test on these swabs is experimental because it has not been approved by the Food \& Drug Administration.
