About this study
Official title: Evaluation Des Performances du Test Rapide antigénique Covid-19 Ag BSS Chez l'Enfant Symptomatique Dans un Service d'Urgences pédiatriques
This study compares the diagnostic performance of a nasopharyngeal swab antigenic test versus the RT-PCR Covid-19 reference test performed with the AllplexTM 2019-nCoV kit (Seegene, South Korea) in symptomatic children presenting at the hospital.
Read the detailed description
Since March 2020, France, like the rest of the world, has been suffering from the pandemic caused by SARS CoV-2, which has led to a considerable health crisis. Moreover, the scale of this epidemic was unexpected for the scientific community and the public authorities, who in fact had to find diagnostic and management solutions for COVID-19 most often in the short term. The reference diagnosis of COVID-19 is based on the RT-PCR technique, which allows diagnosis in the early stages of infectious manifestations.
However, since the French recommendations allow widely and without prescription the access the screening of individuals in biology laboratories, regardless of age, symptoms and history of COVID-19 contage, the delays in both the completion of these RT-PCR tests and the return of their results have increased and have become incompatible with relevant decision-making by the clinician and control of the epidemic.
Indeed, since the end of August 2020, it takes about ten days to get the result of an outpatient PCR test. With the increase in the circulation of the SARS-CoV2 virus and the number of positive cases in several regions of France, the use of rapid testing for SARS CoV-2 now seems essential.
Another diagnostic method of COVID-19 is the detection of specific SARS CoV-2 antigens in rhino-pharyngeal secretions and also allows early diagnosis. The qualitative detection of specific SARS CoV-2 antigens by immunochromatography, from rhino-pharynges samples, has the advantage of offering a result in about ten minutes. These tests use specific antibodies from SARS CoV-2 to selectively detect the S protein. Initially these tests like the one developed by the Belgian firm Coris Bioconcept were developed to identify positive COVID-19 patients. Thus, they could be used as rapid screening for screening and would be an alternative to RT-PCR. Their sensitivity varies according to manufacturers and especially according to the viral load between 60% and 90% with a specificity of more than 99%. The sensitivity of this test increases in patients with a high viral load, corresponding to a Ct 25.
In this context of active circulation of the virus and with a Positivity rate in RT-PCR of about 5% in children, it was important for us to evaluate the performance of a rapid diagnostic test by antigenic detection to optimize their management

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 2 Dec 2020.
