INFORM: Sample Collection Study to Aid Evaluation of an Influenza A/B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus & COVID-19 Virus POC Test
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Collection of Nasal Swabs, Throat Swabs and Saliva Samples from patients presenting at their designated care or testing facility displaying symptoms of either Influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), SARS-CoV-2 or those who have been in recent contact with SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. Collected samples will aid the development, calibration and performance evaluation of the LumiraDx POC Test.

Detailed Description
INFORM is a sample collection study targeting a population of patients attending their designated care or testing facility, suspected of having a respiratory illness typical of Influenza, RSV or COVID-19 and undergoing a Standard of Care (SOC) test on the day. Or those who have been in recent contact with SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. Participants may be of any age, there is no upper or lower age limit.
An additional Group (B), has been incorporated into the study, enabling collection from the asymptomatic population, in order to acquire negative samples (when required), to further aid the development and on-going calibration of the LumiraDx assays. This group will be considered for new site's, who do not routinely provide SOC Testing. Inclusions 1 & 2 will therefore not be applicable to this group. Paediatric participants will not be recruited into Group B.
Depending on the facility's viability and agreed contracting, the following study samples will be collected per patient:
Adult Population: Two (2) Nasal, AND/OR Two (2) Throat Swabs AND/OR, One (1) Saliva Sample
Paediatric Population: Two (2) Nasal, OR Two (2) Throat Swabs AND/OR, One (1) Saliva Sample
Once required samples and data have been collected, participation is complete. No follow-up or subsequent patient involvement is required.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Group A (Sample Collection - Symptomatic Patients) The patient will be completing or has completed a SOC Influenza A/B and/or COVID-19 and/or RSV test on the day of study. |
Other: Group A (Sample Collection)
Sample Collection - Adult Population:
Two (2) Nasal AND/OR
Two (2) Throat Swabs AND/OR
One (1) Saliva Sample
Sample Collection - Paediatric Population:
Two (2) Nasal OR
Two (2) Throat Swabs AND/OR
One (1) Saliva Sample
Diagnostic Test: On-Site Testing (LumiraDx)
Collected samples may be tested using a LumiraDx POC assay at a selection of sites, prior to being transferred to LumiraDx or one of its approved designees for in-house use, in the development and performance testing of the LumiraDx Influenza A/B, SARS-CoV-2 & RSV assays.

Experimental: Group B (Sample Collection - Asymptomatic Patients) To enable the participation of site's who do not routinely providing SOC testing. |
Other: Group B (Sample Collection)
Sample Collection - Adult Population:
Two (2) Nasal AND/OR
Two (2) Throat Swabs AND/OR
One (1) Saliva Sample
Sample Collection - Paediatric Population:
Two (2) Nasal OR
Two (2) Throat Swabs AND/OR
One (1) Saliva Sample
Diagnostic Test: On-Site Testing (LumiraDx)
Collected samples may be tested using a LumiraDx POC assay at a selection of sites, prior to being transferred to LumiraDx or one of its approved designees for in-house use, in the development and performance testing of the LumiraDx Influenza A/B, SARS-CoV-2 & RSV assays.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Collection of Nasal Swabs, Throat Swabs and Saliva Samples across a range of demographics. [1-2 Years]
The collection of Nasal Swabs, Throat Swabs and Saliva Samples positive for Influenza A, Influenza B, RSV or SARS-CoV-2 across a range of demographics to help determine the accuracy of the LumiraDx Point of Care (POC) Influenza A/B + RSV and SARS-CoV-2 tests.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Preliminary assessment of the patient by the Investigator/Designee should be suggestive of Influenza and/or COVID-19 and/or RSV at the time of the study visit. This may include referral to a testing facility.
-
The patient will be completing or has completed a Standard of Care (SOC) Influenza A/B, COVID-19 and/or an RSV test on the day of study. This SOC sampling can be conducted prior or post the patient consenting to this study.
-
Written Informed Consent must be obtained prior to study enrolment:
-
A participant who is 16 years or older must be willing to give written informed consent and must agree to comply with study procedures.
-
The Legal Guardian or Legal Authorised Representative of a participant who is under the age of 16 must give written informed consent and agree to comply with study procedures. Active written assent should be obtained from children of appropriate intellectual age (as determined by the consent taker in accordance with GCP).
N.B. Inclusions 1 & 2 are not applicable to Group B sites.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
The patient underwent a nasal wash/aspirate as part of standard of care testing during their current visit.
-
The patient is undergoing treatment currently and/or within the past 14 days of the study visit with an inhaled influenza vaccine (FluMist®) or anti-viral medication, which may include but is not limited to Amantadine (Symmetrel®), Rimantadine (Flumadine®), Zanamivir (Relenza®), Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), or Baloxavir Marboxil (Xofluza™).
-
The patient is undergoing treatment currently or had undergone within the past 14 days of the study visit with RSV-related medication which may include but is not limited to Ribavirin (Virazole), RSV-IGIV (RespiGam) or palivizumab (Synagis).
-
The patient is currently receiving or has received within the past thirty (30) days of the study visit an experimental biologic, drug, or device including either treatment or therapy.
-
The patient does not have the capacity to consent as determined by the Research Team.
-
The patient is deemed to be unsuitable for research at the Research Team's discretion.
N.B. Paediatric participants may only enrol at Group A sites, in which enrolment is limited to once/week.
