About this study

Official title: The RAPID COVID Study - Application of Point-of-Care COVID-19 Testing to Optimize Patient Care, Resource Allocation and Safety for Frontline Staff

This study is being conducted to study the use and application of a point-of-care (POC) Covid-19 test developed by Spartan BioSciences and recently approved for clinical use by Health Canada.

Read the detailed description

This RAPID COVID-19 study is a prospective, unblinded clinical trial. POC testing utilizing the Spartan Cube COVID-19 platform will be performed on a cohort of 2200 hospitalized patients who have been tested for COVID-19.

This cohort will be divided into three groups:

  1. patients consulted upon by ICU, internal medicine, or cardiology for admission to the hospital
  2. patients undergoing cardiac testing and/or procedures
  3. patients awaiting surgery The results from the POC test will be compared to the results from the traditional hospital core lab test to determine sensitivity and specificity of the POC test.

An additional cohort of 500 quarantined health care workers will have the POC test performed and compared with the results from the traditional hospital core lab test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of POC testing as compared to core lab testing

    Specificity, positive/negative predictive values will be derived

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence in which decision making would have been altered by POC testing

    examples include: ventilation decisions, use of ICU/isolation rooms, use of PPE, additional testing

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Spartan COVID-19 Platform in people with Covid19, run by Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 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 2 May 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 Canada. 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: Device pulled from market due to inconsistent results.). 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?

Sensitivity of POC testing as compared to core lab testing (time frame: 3 months). 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 May 2022.
