About this study

Official title: Novel Salivary Rapid Testing of SARS_CoV_2

The Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test is a bioassay intended for rapid point-of-care detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Performance of the Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test assay will be assessed by comparison to a RT-PCR reference method

Read the detailed description

The clinical performance of the Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test will be evaluated in a prospective clinical study conducted at a single (1) investigational site in Toronto, Cananda.

Consenting patients of ages 18+, any gender, or race/ethnicity who presents at the test site with COVID-19 like symptoms during the 2021 COVID-19 season will be asked to take part in the study, will be sequentially enrolled and tested.

Trained operators with laboratory experience who have received training on the use of the Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test will conduct the testing and represent the intended users.

A subject's participation in this study will consist of a single visit. Following the completion of the informed consent process, study questionnaire and a review of Inclusion/Exclusion criteria to determine eligibility, each subject will receive a unique study identification number, be asked to provide a sample for testing.

Model description
The purpose of this study is to validate the performance of the Sona Saliva C-19 rapid Test for rapid detection of SARS\_CoV\_2 infection when using saliva specimens. A prospective randomized and blinded study to evaluate a rapid point of care antigen test for the detection of viral proteins and compared against an approved RT-PCR test. Saliva samples will be collected along with the current standard of care collection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test in people with Covid19 and Sars-CoV-2 Infection, run by Sona Nanotech Inc 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 18 inclusion and 4 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 24 Mar 2023. 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: Limited participants). 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?

Percent Positive Agreement and Negative Percent Agreement (time frame: 35 days from last patient enrolment). 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 24 Mar 2023.
