Trial summary

The Covid-19 pandemic requires a reliable diagnosis of patients in order to take care of them in the best conditions and in the appropriate services. Moreover, the current diagnostic reference is reverse transcription by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on a nasopharyngeal sample taken by swab. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Performance of COVIDISC Rapid Test for Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2

The Covid-19 pandemic requires a reliable diagnosis of patients in order to take care of them in the best conditions and in the appropriate services. Moreover, the current diagnostic reference is reverse transcription by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on a nasopharyngeal sample taken by swab. This technique is expensive (54€) and its production time is several hours.

Alternative methods are in progress, including, rapid diagnostic tests. The MEMS microfluids and nanostructures (MMN) laboratory, in partnership with the Institut Chimie Biologie Innovation (CBI) (Paris, 75005), have developed a portable test "COVIDISC", low-cost (10 €), fast (1 hour), including extraction, elution and amplification in solid medium isothermal, reverse amplification loop mediated transcription (RT-LAMP).

The "lab" version has received an analytical validation on human nasopharyngeal samples with performance comparable to classic RT-PCR (sensitivity of 7 copies per μl, specificity 100%).

The objective of this study is to validate the in vitro diagnostic medical device, COVIDISC, with the standard nasopharyngeal RT-PCR test.

Read the detailed description

All outpatients and hospitalized patients (intensive care unit, internal medicine service and emergency service) will be proposed to participate to the study after assessment of eligibility criteria by the investigator. The investigator will collect a written consent of the patient or from the support person or a familiar if, the patient is not in condition to consent. Patient's participation will be notified in his medical record.

After inclusion of patient, the nurse will collect general and clinical data and 2 nasopharyngeal swabs will be taken. One sample to test the prototype of the RT-LAMP and the second one to carry out the classic RT-PCR. The results will be collected and compared in a second step.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparaison of the performance of the diagnostic performance (sensitivity, sensibility) of RT-LAMP test using the RT-PCR test as a reference.

    Calculate sensitivity, Specificity, Positive predictive value, Negative predictive value, Positive and negative likelihood report COVIDISC fast, antigenic test compared to RT-PCR Covid-19 reference test conducted in the laboratory

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Compare the diagnostic performances of RT-LAMP to clinical diagnosis.

    The result of RT-LAMP test versus clinical evaluation defined by the clinical symptoms of the patients at the time of nasopharyngeal swab.

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rapid Diagnostic Test vs PCR in people with COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, run by CMC Ambroise Paré 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 1 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Non-significant intemedial analysis). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Comparaison of the performance of the diagnostic performance (sensitivity, sensibility) of RT-LAMP test using the RT-PCR test as a reference. (time frame: Day 0). 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 Jun 2022.
