COVID-VIRO: Diagnostic Performance Evaluation of a Novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Antigen Detection Test
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The current prospective study was designed to assess the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of a novel antigen-based rapid detection test (COVID-VIRO®) on nasopharyngeal specimens in comparison to the reference test in a real-life setting

N/A |
Detailed Description
Two nasopharyngeal swab specimens will be concurrently collected on:
-
adult patients hospitalized in the Infectious Diseases Department of the Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans (CHRO) for confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection,
-
or symptomatic or asymptomatic subjects voluntarily accessing the COVID-19 Screening Department of the CHRO to perform a diagnostic test. COVID VIRO® diagnostic.
Specificity and sensitivity are assessed in comparison to real-time RT-qPCR results.

Experimental: Comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results on nasopharyngeal swab specimens Two concurrent nasopharyngeal swab specimens are collected for each participant. Comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR positive patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® sensitivity. Conversely, comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR negative patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® specificity. |
Diagnostic Test: RT-qPCR test
Two concurrent nasopharyngeal swab specimens are collected for each participant. Comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR positive patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® sensitivity. Conversely, comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR negative patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® specificity.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of COVID VIRO® diagnostic specificity [Month 1]
COVID-VIRO® specificity is calculated using the RT-qPCR results as reference test, according to the following formulas: Specificity (%) = 100 x [Negative / (Negative + Positive)]
- Evaluation of COVID VIRO® diagnostic sensitivity [Month 1]
COVID-VIRO® sensitivity is calculated using the RT-qPCR results as reference test, according to the following formulas: Sensitivity (%) = 100 x [Positive/ (Positive + Negative)]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of COVID VIRO® diagnostic sensitivity for RT-qPCR Cycle threshold value < or > 28 [Month 1]
COVID-VIRO® sensitivity is calculated using the RT-qPCR results, restricting for Cycle threshold value
