About this study

Official title: Epidemiologic Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 Prevalence in Minnesota

The purpose of this epidemiologic study is to estimate the prevalence and incidence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in at-risk, exposed, affected populations. The study will also estimate the risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in target population.

Read the detailed description

This study is not for real-time diagnostic purposes, guidance for patient care, or the development of a diagnostic test. The research tests performed for this study will not be prioritized over clinical care samples, that research samples will be batched and tested after clinical care samples. This study is a population-based epidemiologic analysis of prevalence of various groups of persons.

Group (1) general healthy population. People 18 years of age and older that have not tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and who have not sought medical help in the previous 4 months.

Group (2) Medical School Residents , 18 years of age and older that have not tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 Group (3) Individuals who are HIV positive. People 18 years of age and older that have not tested positive for SARS-CoV-2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Specimen CollectionDiagnostic test

    Blood: Two tubes of blood (up to 10 ml each) will be drawn from participants and will be collected by experienced phlebotomists.

    Nasal, oral, and rectal swabs: Nasal, oral, and rectal swabs are optional specimens that patients may be asked to donate. If prospective consent is provided, swabs will be self-collected by participants after receiving clear instructions from the team and collected in the dedicated container.

    Saliva: Saliva is an optional specimen that patients may be asked to donate. If prospective consent is provided, whole saliva samples will be self-collected by participants using a pad placed between the cheek and gum for 2-5 minutes or collecting the saliva directly to a sterile container.

  • SurveysDiagnostic test

    Participants will be asked to fill out a brief online survey that will investigate symptoms consistent with SARS-CoV-2 infection in the past 3 months and the geographic location of the clinic(s) they work in (if a resident of a medical school) and their comorbidities related to SARS-CoV-2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Symptomatic Infection

    Prevalence of symptomatic infection will be reported as the percent of participants in each group who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection and self-report symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Prevalence of Subclinical Infection

    Prevalence of subclinical infection will be reported as the percent of participants in each group who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection and self-report no symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19 and SARS-CoV Infection, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2022. 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 States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 of Symptomatic Infection (time frame: 1 year). 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 15 Aug 2022.
