Trial summary

Evaluation of the rate of positive RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 test at 1 month of COVID infection among elderly people. It is unclear how long an individual with COVID-19 will remain "sick" and "contagious". It appears that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted before symptoms appear and throughout the course of the disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Evaluation of the rate of positive RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 test at 1 month of COVID infection among elderly people.

It is unclear how long an individual with COVID-19 will remain "sick" and "contagious". It appears that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted before symptoms appear and throughout the course of the disease.

They investigators did not find any study on a COVID + geriatric population reassessing carriage at 1 month even though age seems to be a risk factor for prolonged excretion as suggested in the study following study: Xu K, Chen Y, Yuan J, Yi P, Ding C, Wu W, et al. Factors associated with prolonged viral RNA shedding in patients with COVID-19. Clinical Infectious Diseases. 2020 Apr 9; ciaa351

What is being measured

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

  1. 1. Analysis of the rate of RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 positive at 1 month of COVID infection

    Measured: at 1 month of COVID infection]

  2. 2. Assess quantitative evaluation of a nasopharyngeal swab SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test

    The objective of this study is to quantitatively assess viral shedding in COVID-19 infected elderly patients who survived infection in order to provide an overview of the evolution of nasopharyngeal swab SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results with the Cycle threshold value of the RT-PCR test.. The investigatrors analyze nasopharyngeal RT-PCR at diagnosis. After one month since the date of onset symptoms they reassessed survival patients with nasopharyngeal RT-PCR and repeat the RT-PCR at least every week until final negative conversion occurs.

    Measured: at 1 month after COVID infection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of late stool SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR, serological status and associated factors with death and RT-PCR results 1 month after the date of first symptom onset

    • Assessment of late stool SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR results one month after the date of onset symptom(dso) (% of patients with a positive fecal RT-PCR test after 1 month)
    • COVID-19 serological status; associated factors with death and RT-PCR results 1 month after the dso: Age (year), gender, Medical history prior to hospilization : Hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, chronic respiratory disease, History of medication: ACEI, ARBs Antiplatetet drug, doses of anticoagulant therapy, antibiotic, corticotherapy, statin, Proton pump inhibitor, T°C>37.8 7 days after the onset of symptoms, weight in kg, height in meter combined to report BMI in kg/m^2, Charlson score, Use of adjuvant oxygen, Lung CT-Scan results : extent of lesion <25%/25-50%/50-75%/>75%, Lymphocytes, platelet, CRP count at the time of diagnosis and 7 days after, GFR at diagnosis ml/min /1.73m2, ABO group, Rhesus antibody, Nasopharyngeal RT PCR initial Cycle Threshold

    Measured: 1 month after the date of first symptom onset

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid-19, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France 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 3 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 25 Nov 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?

1. Analysis of the rate of RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 positive at 1 month of COVID infection (time frame: at 1 month of COVID infection]). 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 25 Nov 2020.
