About this study

The worldwide health system has been marked by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. French educational system has been upset, especially medical schools, which, because of their hospital location, are particularly exposed to the spread of the virus. The medical school of Paris-Saclay University, located within bicetre University Hospital, AP-HP, must therefore adapt on a daily basis to ensure educational continuity. Taking advantage of an exceptional scientific ecosystem, innovative viral epidemic propagation modeling approaches based on both simulation and contact tracing data will be tested in real-life conditions. These propagation models will serve to scientifically optimize future educational organization procedures in this medical school.

Read the detailed description

All the participants will be equipped with individual wireless contact tracing technology. Anonymised contact events will be automatically monitored for a period of two months to measure the daily contact flow density between the students at medical school. Epidemic simulation models will be enriched with these real contact tracing data to generate optimized viral propagation probability networks. During the same period, CO2 measurement will be performed in several relevant sectors (classrooms, amphitheaters, corridors etc) to allow a more holistic understanding of the propagation conditions. Finally, the probabilistic models will be confronted to the results of a two step COVID-19 screening campaign.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Antigenic tests (on saliva samples)Other

    SARS-CoV-2 screening tests: two massive antigenic tests campaigns (on salivary samples).

  • Individual electronic sensor portOther

    Individual electronic sensor recording contacts but not their location (in the form of a bracelet, a key ring or a badge) Contact data collection points (5 maximum, located at compulsory passage points for participants). When a sensor is close to one of these terminals, it discharges its contacts in seconds.

  • Atmospheric measurements of CO2Other

    Atmospheric measurements of CO2 in the relevant closed places of the faculty (lectures / practical work / BU / refectory): battery operated sensors. When a sensor is installed in a place, the ventilation conditions (number of open windows, etc.) as well as the number of people present will be noted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Simulations results compared with the COVID-19 two-step screening campaign results

    Develop and validate a simulation tool for the spread of an epidemic in a university-type environment, updated by the effective measurement of contacts between individuals (wireless digital search of contacts).

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. CO2 atmospheric measurement

    The CO2 rate will be measured under very diverse conditions in terms of room size, number of people, type of ventilation. These systematic measurements together with the reading of precise conditions will allow us to establish a precise correspondence between the various factors and this rate. This should improve our understanding of the chains of contamination. and the circumstances that may have favored the spread of the disease.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Antigenic tests (on saliva samples), Individual electronic sensor port and Atmospheric measurements of CO2 in people with Covid19, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 6 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 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 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Simulations results compared with the COVID-19 two-step screening campaign results (time frame: 2 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 6 Feb 2023.
