About this study

This study is designed to compare the performance of the NOWDx COVID-19 Test to an emergency use authorized PCR test result. The intent is to show the rapid test device is comparable to a currently marketed device. The NOWDx COVID-19 Test is an in vitro lateral flow immunoassay intended for qualitative detection of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human fingerstick whole blood at the Point of Care (POC); i.e. in patient care settings operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation; and at home.

This study is designed to compare the performance of the NOWDx COVID-19 Test to an emergency use authorized PCR test result. The intent is to show the rapid test device is comparable to a currently marketed device. The NOWDx COVID-19 Test is an in vitro lateral flow immunoassay intended for qualitative detection of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human fingerstick whole blood at the Point of Care (POC); i.e. in patient care settings operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation; and at home.

The NOWDx COVID-19 Test is intended for use as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. At this time, it is unknown for how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confers protective immunity. Testing of human fingerstick whole blood is intended to be conducted in a home-like setting of a facility authorized to perform CLIA waived tests.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of clinical agreement between NOWDx COVID-19 Test and emergency use authorized or FDA cleared comparator

    Calculate positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) between NOWDx COVID-19 Test and emergency use authorized or FDA cleared COVID-19 PCR test.

    Measured: through study completion; an average of 2 months

  2. Positivity rate of NOWDx COVID-19 Tests in vaccinated persons

    Calculate positivity rate of NOWDx COVID-19 Tests in persons post emergency use authorized or FDA cleared COVID-19 vaccination.

    Measured: through study completion; an average of 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NOWDx COVID-19 Test in people with COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, run by NOWDiagnostics, Inc. at 5 sites 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 5 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 stopped early (reason given: FDA will not authorize COVID-19 Ab tests for use over-the-counter.). 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?

Percentage of clinical agreement between NOWDx COVID-19 Test and emergency use authorized or FDA cleared comparator (time frame: through study completion; an average of 2 months). 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 5 Nov 2021.
