Trial summary

Since December 2019, the world has faced a pandemic of COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a virus that emerged in China. The reference diagnosis is based on the search for the SARS-COV-2 genome in the nasopharyngeal sample. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult ambulatory patients screened for SARS Cov 19 at the CHU Amiens COViD clinic will be included in the study. A double sample will be taken from the saliva and the nasopharynx in parallel using the same sample kit. This double sampling has no direct impact on conventional patient management.

Who may be able to join

  • patient hospitalized at the Amiens CHU in a COVID-19 unit
  • patient seen as outpatient in the area of infectious pathologies for COVID-19 infection

Who cannot join

  • Patients under 18
  • patients under guardianship or curators

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Performance of a Saliva Sample Versus a Nasopharyngeal Sample in the Diagnosis of COVID-19 by RT-PCR

Since December 2019, the world has faced a pandemic of COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a virus that emerged in China. The reference diagnosis is based on the search for the SARS-COV-2 genome in the nasopharyngeal sample.

Carrying out this sample requires the competence of a healthcare professional and presents some inconveniences for the tested patient. Because saliva collection is simple, non-invasive, painless and inexpensive, and can be performed by poorly trained personnel, it could be an alternative to the reference nasopharyngeal sample. SARS-CoV2 detection in human saliva could be a potential diagnosis of COVID infection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sars-CoV2 and RT-PCR, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2020. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the saliva sample (time frame: day 1). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Dec 2020.
