About this study
The study is designed as a clinical feasibility, to investigate the positive and negative percent agreement (PPA and NPA) of the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo against a highly sensitive PCR method(s) in symptomatic patients suspected of SARS-CoV-2 or influenza infection when nasal swabs are self-collected by the patient/lay user.
Read the detailed description
Approximately 700 symptomatic participants will be enrolled to achieve at least 61 COVID PCR positive, 45 Flu A PCR positives, 30 Flu B PCR positives and 301 COVID and Influenza PCR negatives.
The total number of research-related anterior nasal swabs collected from each consented Participant is two (2). Participants ages two (2) years and older meeting eligibility criteria will be enrolled.
The order of nasal swab collection will be randomized according to the Participant ID as to which swab is used for BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo and which is to be eluted into VTM/UTM and will have the swab head left in the media (snap off or clip shaft) for comparator testing.
For Participants with an odd numbered Participant ID, the first swab will be self-collected and used for the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo. The second swab will be collected by a healthcare professional and eluted into VTM/UTM and will have the swab head left in the media (snap off or clip shaft) for comparator testing. The Participant will review the Instructions for Use, collect the nasal swab, and perform the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo, then interpret and record the result at the time specified in the product instructions.
For Participants with an even numbered Participant ID, the first swab will be collected by a healthcare professional and eluted into VTM/UTM and will have the swab head left in the media (snap off or clip shaft) for comparator testing. The second swab will be self-collected and used for the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo. Once the healthcare provider collected the swab for the comparator test the Participant will review the Instructions for Use.
The VTM/UTM samples will be stored, handled, and tested with comparator assays according to the manufacturers' product instructions. VTM/UTM specimens can be stored for up to 48 hours at 2-8°C. If delivery and processing of samples exceeds specified time periods, specimens should be transported in dry ice and once in laboratory frozen at -70°C or colder.
Each Participant's demographic data, inclusion/exclusion data, days of symptom onset, comparator results, Education level, occupation, and socioeconomic status and other data points will be documented on the data collection worksheets and EDC.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Combo Self-TestDiagnostic test
Diagnostic Test: BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo Self-Test
The BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo Self-Test is a visually read lateral flow in vitro immunoassay for the qualitative detection and differentiation of the nucleocapsid protein antigen to SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B directly in anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental: Experimental: Nasal sampling/Testing (Self-Test) | Experimental | Each Participant will be provided a single-use test kit containing a BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo, buffer and a sterile nasal swab. The Participant will self-collect one (1) anterior nasal swab, perform the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo, then interpret and record the result. The testing will be completed in a home like setting. After the anterior nasal swab is collected, the operator or delegated study staff will collect one anterior nasal swab from both nostrils of the subject for RT-PCR testing. VTM samples will be shipped daily to the central lab for testing with the RT-PCR protocols for Flu A, Flu B and SARS-CoV-2.
The order of collections will be based off the subject number. Receives: Diagnostic Test: BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Combo Self-Test |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Demonstrate the positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA)
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the positive and negative percent agreement (PPA and NPA) of the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo against a highly sensitive PCR method(s) in symptomatic patients suspected of SARS-CoV-2 or influenza infection when nasal swabs are self-collected by the patient/lay user. The patient/lay user will perform the test, read, and interpret the test result.
Measured: 5 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Demonstrate the accuracy of the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Combo Self-Test in patient/lay user
The secondary objective of this study is to demonstrate the accuracy of the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19/Flu A\&B Combo Self-Test in the hands of patients/lay users, which are "intended users" in a point of care (POC) Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) moderate, high or waived complexity test environment

Site staff will collect one (1) anterior nasal swab from the Participant by inserting the swab up to 1 inch into one of the anterior naris. Staff will rotate the swab against the nasal mucosa five (5) times to obtain sample and withdraw. Staff will repeat with the other anterior naris using the same swab, and vigorously elute the swab in Viral Transport Medium (VTM)/Universal Transport Media (UTM) immediately (within 5 minutes) of sample collection. The swab should be rotated vigorously in the VTM/UTM liquid for 10 seconds. The swab head will be left in the VTM/UTM, by snapping the shaft or clipping the base of the swab if necessary

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Samantha Parsons, Manager of Clinical Operations (000-000-0000, samantha.parsons@abbott.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Demonstrate the positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) (time frame: 5 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
