Bioaerosol Sampling Device (BSD) Clinical Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the bioaerosol sampling device (BSD) and how it can sample patient bioaerosols (breath) and patient's nares for the detection of COVID-19 viral particles in patients seeking to be tested for COVID-19.

Detailed Description
SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, is transmissible through bioaerosols. Routine accessible, non-invasive, sensitive testing could play a role in reducing the spread of the disease and controlling the current and future pandemics. The Bioaerosol Sampling Device may offer both comfort and the potential to increase the ability to detect patients earlier in the infection cycle than a swab. The primary objective of the research is to generate BSD performance data with detection by RT-PCR and at-home molecular and antigen assays, compared to nasal swab comparator detected by EUA or 510k cleared RT-PCR.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- BSD detection of SARS-CoV-2: The primary objective of the research is to generate BSD performance data with detection by RT-PCR and at-home molecular and antigen assays, compared to nasal swab comparator detected by EUA or 510k cleared RT-PCR. [1 year]
Aim 1 Objective 1: The primary objective of Aim 1 (A1O1) is to generate and evaluate BSD performance data for patients enrolled within the first 3 days of symptoms, with detection by RT-PCR and at-home molecular and antigen assays, compared to Nasal Swab Comparator detected by EUA or 510k cleared RT-PCR assays. Aim 1 Objective 2a: The secondary objective (A1O2a) of Aim 1 is to generate and evaluate the same BSD performance data as Aim 1 objective 1, but to do so for patients enrolled within the first 7 days of symptom onset. Aim 1 Objective 2b: The secondary objective (A1O2b) of Aim 1 is to generate and evaluate the same BSD performance data as Aim 1 objective 1, but to do so for any patients seeking to get tested for SARS-CoV-2 test, regardless of presence of symptoms or symptom onset.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- BSD performance data: Generate and evaluate the performance data evaluated based on virus load. [1 year]
Aim 2 Objective 1: The primary objective of Aim 2 (A2O1) is to generate and evaluate BSD performance data for enrolled patients, with detection by at-home antigen assays, compared to Nasal Swab Comparator detected by EUA or 510k cleared RT-PCR assays with Ct values of less than 30. This objective will focus will be to evaluate the sensitivity of the BSD to detect SARS-CoV-2 virus with at-home antigen tests among specimens with a nasal swab RT-PCR Ct value of less than 30. Aim 2 Objective 2: The secondary objective of Aim 2 (A2O2) is to generate and evaluate BSD performance data for enrolled patients, with detection by PCR, compared to Nasal Swab Comparator detected by EUA or 510k cleared RT-PCR assays, in order to derive a correlation between virus load collected via BSD and virus load collected via nasal swab, both as measured by RT-PCR Ct value on the same RT-PCR assay.
