About this study

Official title: Immune Cells and the Coronavirus for Inflammatory Arthritis

A team at the University of Manchester are developing a test that tcould be helpful in detecting immunity to the Coronavirus (which causes the COVID-19 disease) in participants with inflammatory arthritis. It is based on a flu assay has already developed; the team will replace the flu antigen with a Coronavirus antigen to see if it is effective.

This project aims to develop a test to see if people who have had the virus have developed immunity to it. This could help to predict who might or might not get the disease a second time, who should stay at home to be protected from potential infection or who will not develop any symptoms, even if exposed to the virus.

When vaccination trials against the Coronavirus will be launched, this test could also help to see if the vaccine is effective.

Study groups in NCT04363047
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Healthy VolunteersThese people will have already provided at least one sample as part of the National Repository Healthy Volunteer Study. We aim to take blood samples from participants who have recovered from COVID-19 and compare them with blood samples we already have which were taken before the COVID-19 pandemic. We will need to compare these samples to other samples, so we will also need to blood samples from people who have not had COVID-19 (who have either tested negative or never had any symptoms).
Receives: Other: 40ml blood sample
Rheumatoid ArthritisThese people will have already provided at least one sample as part of the BRAGGSS Study. We aim to take blood samples from participants who have recovered from COVID-19 and compare them with blood samples we already have which were taken before the COVID-19 pandemic. We will need to compare these samples to other samples, so we will also need to blood samples from people who have not had COVID-19 (who have either tested negative or never had any symptoms).
Receives: Other: 40ml blood sample

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence and abundance of CD4+ T lymphocytes

    the prevalence and abundance of CD4+ T lymphocytes specifically recognizing SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients with inflammatory arthritis, in pre- and post-infection samples; in patients without COVID-19 and in healthy volunteers with or without COVID-19. Correlation of these cells with COVID-19 severity.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of SARS Virus, run by University of Manchester at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence and abundance of CD4+ T lymphocytes (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2024.
