About this study
Official title: Characterizing SARS-CoV-2-specific Immunity in Convalescent Individuals
The purpose of this study is to learn more about infection with and recovery from the virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Some people know this virus by the name "coronavirus." It can cause the disease called COVID-19.
The information gained from the study will be used to help develop better tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease and may help in developing future vaccines and treatments by allowing researchers to determine the difference between the body's immune response to natural SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunization with a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
Read the detailed description
This study aims to characterize the SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity in convalescent individuals.
The observational cohort study will include 3 groups, as described in the table below.
Participants will complete a minimum of one visit (1-8 weeks post resolution of COVID-19 OR 2-10 weeks post most recent positive SARS-CoV-2 test, if asymptomatic) and optional visits approximately 2 months, 4 months, and 1 year later. Participants diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection at an optional follow-up visit may be contacted more frequently. Additional follow up visit(s) may be added over time in response to evolving information regarding SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19.
Study visits may include physical examinations, medical history, questionnaires, pregnancy tests (for participants assigned female at birth), blood draws, optional nasal samples, and optional HIV testing.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
SARS-CoV-2-specific Antibody Binding Response Rate (BAMA IgG1) by Region and Enrollment Group Among America Cohort
BAMA assays was performed for samples from participants at Visit 1 (Month 0, baseline) and available samples at follow-up visits (Month 2, 4). Serum SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA, IgG1, IgG3 responses (dilution 1:50) to SARS-CoV-2 antigens were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument (Bio-Rad). The Bioplex software provides 2 readouts: a background-subtracted mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), where background refers to a plate level control (i.e., a blank well run on each plate), and a concentration based on a standard curve. Positive responses at each visit will be called if the MFI minus blank values are ≥ isotype, antigen, and dilution-specific cutoff (will be provided by the lab). MFIs minus blank (or net MFI) are used to summarize the magnitude at a given time-point.

SARS-CoV-2-specific Antibody Binding Response Rate (Nab) by Region and Enrollment Group Among America Cohort
Neutralizing antibodies against SARS coronaviruses are measured in 293T/ACE2 cells for all HIV negative samples. MPI (maximum percent inhibition) is also measured. Positivity calls are an ID50/ID80 (50% and 80% inhibitory dose) value either >20 (the lower limit of detection (LLOD) of the assay) or MPI is between 10%-50%. The neutralizing antibody ID50/ID80 of all HIV positive samples are measured by a different assay, VSV pseudovirus neutralization assay. Positivity calls are based on whether or not any neutralization is observed through entire titration (starting dilution 1:20) with MPI between 10%-50%. For the positive calls but the neutralization does not reach 50% or 80%, ID50/ID80 titer is first estimated by Prism.

Positivity calls are an ID50/ID80 (50% and 80% inhibitory dose) value either >20 (the lower limit of detection (LLOD) of the assay) or MPI is between 10%-50%. The neutralizing antibody ID50/ID80 of all HIV positive samples are measured by a different assay, VSV pseudovirus neutralization assay. Positivity calls are based on whether or not any neutralization is observed through entire titration (starting dilution 1:20) with MPI between 10%-50%. For the positive calls but the neutralization does not reach 50% or 80%, ID50/ID80 titer is first estimated by Prism.

SARS-CoV-2-specific Antibody Binding Response Magnitude (IgA Nasal Sample) by Region and Enrollment Group Among America Cohort
BAMA assays was performed for samples from participants at Visit 1 (Month 0, baseline) and available samples at follow-up visits (Month 2, 4). Serum SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA, IgG1, IgG3 responses (dilution 1:50) to SARS-CoV-2 antigens were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument (Bio-Rad). The Bioplex software provides 2 readouts: a background-subtracted mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), where background refers to a plate level control (i.e., a blank well run on each plate), and a concentration based on a standard curve. Positive responses at each visit will be called if the MFI minus blank values are ≥ isotype, antigen, and dilution-specific cutoff (will be provided by the lab). MFIs minus blank (or net MFI) are used to summarize the magnitude at a given time-point.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about infection with and recovery from the virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Some people know this virus by the name "coronavirus." It can cause the disease called COVID-19.
The information gained from the study will be used to help develop better tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease and may help in developing future vaccines and treatments by allowing researchers to determine the difference between the body's immune response to natural SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunization with a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
Detailed description
This study aims to characterize the SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity in convalescent individuals.
The observational cohort study will include 3 groups, as described in the table below.
Participants will complete a minimum of one visit (1-8 weeks post resolution of COVID-19 OR 2-10 weeks post most recent positive SARS-CoV-2 test, if asymptomatic) and optional visits approximately 2 months, 4 months, and 1 year later. Participants diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection at an optional follow-up visit may be contacted more frequently. Additional follow up visit(s) may be added over time in response to evolving information regarding SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19.
Study visits may include physical examinations, medical history, questionnaires, pregnancy tests (for participants assigned female at birth), blood draws, optional nasal samples, and optional HIV testing.

SARS-CoV-2-specific Antibody Binding Response Rate (Nab) by Region and Comorbidity Group Among America Cohort
Time frame: Measured at Months 0, 2, 4, 12
Neutralizing antibodies against SARS coronaviruses are measured in 293T/ACE2 cells for all HIV negative samples. MPI (maximum percent inhibition) is also measured. Positivity calls are an ID50/ID80 (50% and 80% inhibitory dose) value either >20 (the lower limit of detection (LLOD) of the assay) or MPI is between 10%-50%. The neutralizing antibody ID50/ID80 of all HIV positive samples are measured by a different assay, VSV pseudovirus neutralization assay. Positivity calls are based on whether or not any neutralization is observed through entire titration (starting dilution 1:20) with MPI between 10%-50%. For the positive calls but the neutralization does not reach 50% or 80%, ID50/ID80 titer is first estimated by Prism.
